As of yesterday, the graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod port is working for me[1].=
=C2=A0=20
This is good news because a) the video quality is better, and, b) it=C2=A0=
=20
supports colour, which graphics/drm-legacy-kmod didn't seem to.=C2=A0 (So n=
ow I=C2=A0=20
get a green status bar again in tmux.)

In other words, it may be that whatever broke in graphics/drm-kmod has now=
=C2=A0=20
been fixed?

Cheers,

Paul.

I updated and installed kernel and world on Tuesday, mainly to bring in the  
clang 8.0.0 changes.  Then, yesterday, I saw graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod  
listed when I did a portsnap update and so built it on the off-chance  
whatever had been updated in it would cause it to work again on my system.   
I replaced my existing graphics/drm-legacy-kmod with it, and the system did  
not hang in multiuser when trying to load the kmod.  The resultant console  
worked like before (when I used graphics/drm-kmod).

I just looked at the graphics/drm-kmod Makefile and  
graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod is the port selected for my OSVERSION (1200507)  
when installing.

Cheers,

Paul.

PS: I am only using graphics/drm-kmod for the system console, to get more  
text columns than the built-in 640x480 VGA console would otherwise allow.
