--- Comment #14 from Scott Bennett <bennett@sdf.org> ---
     Warner, I guess I need to correct my previous statement that Alexey had
asked the same questions I had.  My questions were rather more general than
his.  I asked, "Has there been any change to gpu-firmware-kmod for stable/11
since 28 April 2020?" and "Has radeonkms.ko had any changes to how it is=20
intended to respond to a GPU hang?"  Surely the first question is easy enou=
gh
for anyone on the x11 team to answer.  The second one would likely take a b=
it
closer look at the update log for radeonkms.ko, but it also might be as sim=
ple
as seeing that there were no changes made at all during the time period in
question.  IOW, there ought to be no problem in answering the questions I h=
ad
asked, and it also I ought to take no more than a few minutes at worst to f=
ind
the answers and tell me.  If there is no difference in a module between two
dates, then updating to the current date should naturally be expected to be=
 a
waste of time in terms of finding solutions to the problems.
     There is now a new obstacle for me.  My stable/11 "make buildworld" ran
to many hours, finally finishing about 7:15 p.m.  llvm continues to grow at=
 an
alarming rate, so now it takes longer to build it than all the rest of Free=
BSD
combined.  I then ran buildkernel, which ran almost to completion, but fail=
ed
near the very end due to large numbers of compilation errors from having
uncommented "options EVDEV_SUPPORT" because it is supposedly now required a=
nd
there is now supposedly a way to continue to use moused with it enabled.  So
next I will try updating to tonight's source tree and run it all again.  If=
 I
don't see any changed modules that look like they might have anything to do
with EVDEV_SUPPORT, then I will look again tomorrow and, if necessary, repe=
at
each day or two until I do see such and then will try building world and ke=
rnel
again.  Until then, I don't see the need to waste processing time.
     I reiterate that I have not asked whether the problems in
gpu-firmware-kmod of drm-fbsd11.2-kmod have been fixed.  I have asked wheth=
er
the particular modules supporting a Radeon HD 5770 have even been changed
since 28 April 2020.
     Warner, I also have a parting question for you, raised by Niclas.  For=
 how
many days is a particular stable/11 or stable/12 revision considered to be
supported?
