As of yesterday, the graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod port is working for me[1]. This is good news because a) the video quality is better, and, b) it supports colour, which graphics/drm-legacy-kmod didn't seem to. (So now I get a green status bar again in tmux.) In other words, it may be that whatever broke in graphics/drm-kmod has now been fixed? Cheers, Paul. [1] At least working in FreeBSD 12.0-STABLE r346597.
