Drm-kmod and 14-CURRENT
Hello all, I've just used reinstall.sh to add a CURRENT boot environment to a 13.1 ZFS installation. Xorg doesn't load in CURRENT, presumably because the drm-kmod doesn't work with 14. I tried to build drm-current-kmod from ports but the build errors out. I can send all the error messages and dmesg and such if necessary, but I'm betting it's just a simple fix that I'm unaware of. The graphics is i915 Intel BTW. TIA for your help, Patrick

Got it fixed by uninstalling drm-kmod and then installing drm-510-kmod and adding "kld_list="i915kms"" to /etc/rc.conf. On an old installation I think I had to build it from ports. On a fresh install you can ignore drm-kmod and just "pkg install drm-510-kmod". Good luck! Patrick
