New Revision: 286524
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/286524

Log:
  Add a new group named 'video' with the id of 44. And make drm create
  devices in /dev/dri/ with this new group.
  
  This will allow ports and users to more easily access to these devices
  for OpenGL and OpenCL support.
