The ports work as advertised=2E  IMO graphics/drm-legacy should be depreci=
ated sooner than later=2E I would expect the graphics team could better spe=
nd their time and energy on drm-current, which btw works perfectly on my ol=
d laptop converted to i386 testbed, than maintaining old bitrot=2E When can=
 we expect drm-legacy to finally be removed from ports?

Pardon the typos and autocorrect, small keyboard in use=2E
