The conflict does not affect any other architecture. The Makefile infrastructure can use MACHINE_ARCH to exclude drm2 from build of amd64. I don't use netgraph or any of the if_*.ko modules. Can we put all of that into ports? I don't use any scsi controllers, so those can go too. Why make it insanely fun for users to configure a FreeBSD system. -- Steve
