Hello: I finally get to update a system from: FreeBSD 11.0-RC2 #0 r304729: Wed Aug 24 06:59:03 UTC 2016 amd64 to -CURRENT. After reading src/UPDATING, I understand everything (I think) _except_: 20170311: The old drm (sys/dev/drm/) drivers for i915 and radeon have been removed as the userland we provide cannot use them. The KMS version (sys/dev/drm2) supports the same hardware. I assume the new kernel bits will be automatically built and installed. Are there any changes I need to make elsewhere, e.g. loader,conf or ports? Also: as part of the "safest in-place upgrade" ... how do rm -rf /usr/obj/* and make cleanworld differ? Respectfully, Robert Huff
