Instructions in the FreeBSD handbook for building/installing. Then, the instructions at ( https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics/wiki#installing-required-userland-components) will tell you how to get the updated X server installed. One thing to note that's not really stated anywhere is that you need to load the i915kms driver in rc.conf, not from the boot loader, as it's not ready for boot-time loading yet (last I worked with it, last month). Boot-time loading results in a panic. The only other problem I faced was a missing/changed function in a shared library that `pkg` relies on. Using `pkg-static` to install packages worked around that. Cheers! -doug On Tue, Sep 20, 2016 at 11:58 AM Bob Willcox wrote: > On Tue, Aug 16, 2016 at 12:12:44AM -0700, Matthew Macy wrote: > > As of this moment sys/dev/drm in the drm-next tree is sync with > https://github.com/torvalds/linux drivers/gpu/drm (albeit only for the > subset of drivers that FreeBSD supports - i915, radeon, and amdgpu).
