I haven't looked at dragonfly I saw a few talks from the FreeBSD guys and
it seemed like the main reason for dragonfly was misguided. I am interested
in solving the problem within the constraints set fourth by FreeBSD so I
won't be forking anything. I might look at that project though.
I think the
Isn't that the way it was done before and is done on DragonFly?
Don't forget, linuxkpi also supports AMD and Gallium drivers
It is a complex subject.. in a perfect world we'd have unlimited time and
resources and FreeBSD would be in every man's hand :)
Good luck!

It's understandable and I actually came across your twitter account a long
time ago before I joined this list.
I did look at intels open source gpu drivers. I will be attempting after a
smaller project to get it up and running on BSD without using the linux
wrappers. Crazy, I know but nothing trie
Hi
Not sure about the other graphics drivers but porting a driver like
drm/i915 for Intel graphics is a massive undertaking (look at the source
code from Intel!). Intel develops their open source driver for Linux and
having linuxkpi reduces porting efforts for us from a full time job to a
few week
Hi Johannes
I was asking about the current state of those three main items.
I just looked at the linuxkpi thing and it's a wrapper around the linux
version of DRM but isn't DRM a open standard, if we keep chasing down linux
the more they move their stuff into their kernel the harder it will becom
Hi Owen
I've been helping out with drm, i915, linuxkpi and evdev in the kernel.
For userland I'm working on Wayland-related stuff.
You can check my twitter (@johalun) or this mailing list for my earlier
posts about how to use this work.
Sorry for asking but exactly what is your question now aga
Howdy
Is there anyone on this list that works on the graphics stack for FreeBSD?

from a few years ago and what I've gathered so far the new x is getting a
major redesign and a lot of code is moving into the kernel.
