This probably is a 3rd party module, so the documentation is located where the port maintainer decided to install it to. In most cases, this will be /usr/local/share/doc/, but other locations are also possible. Some ported software provides a manual page, "man ", but sadly it's not always the case. Sometimes you can derive from the name: "i915kms" is shorthand for "Intel 915" (graphics chipset) kernel mode setting. > (and any other modules in /boot/kernel) Usually "man " will work for OS-provided modules. --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org= " =20
