The FreeBSDDesktop team is happy to announce the availability of + graphics/drm-next-kmod. This port for &os; CURRENT + (amd64) provides support for the amdgpu, + i915, and radeon DRM + modules using the linuxkpi 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.

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