That action is also repeated if I try to use "kldload kld_list=i915kms.ko" I have also tried using the full path to the module, i.e. "/boot/module/kld_list=i915kms.ko"; however, it didn't make any difference. I did install the "graphics/drm-kmod-20220907_3" port. I compiled it using poudriere. I also saw a mention of entering fusefs_load="YES" into the "/boot/loader.conf" file. -- Jerry
