<body>
<p>The FreeBSDDesktop team is happy to announce the availability of
<tt>graphics/drm-next-kmod</tt>. This port for &os; CURRENT
(amd64) provides support for the <tt>amdgpu</tt>,
<tt>i915</tt>, and <tt>radeon</tt> DRM
modules using the <tt>linuxkpi</tt> compatibility framework.
The port currently corresponds to DRM from Linux 4.9 and is in
an experimental state. It works reliably for a lot of testers
with modern GPU hardware (AMD HD7000 series/Tahiti to Polaris
and Intel HD3000/Sandy Bridge to Skylake). Broader testing and
reporting/fixing of bugs is appreciated.</p> </body>

<task>Resolve issues that cause <tt>radeonkms</tt> and
<tt>amdgpu</tt> to fail with EFI boot (though there is a
workaround available).</task>
<task>Upgrade to Linux 4.10 and higher DRM versions.</task>
<task>Get feedback from broader testing.</task>
