Now, amd64 users should + just install the drm-kmod port. All others should install + drm-legacy-kmod. + + Graphics hardware that's newer than about 2010 usually works with + drm-kmod. For hardware older than 2013, however, some users will need + to use drm-legacy-kmod if drm-kmod doesn't work for them. Hardware older + than 2008 usually only works in drm-legacy-kmod. The graphics team can + only commit to hardware made since 2013 due to the complexity of the + market and difficulty to test all the older cards effectively. If you + have hardware supported by drm-kmod, you are strongly encouraged to use + that as you will get better support. + + Other than KPI chasing, drm-legacy-kmod will not be updated. As outlined + elsewhere, the drm and drm2 modules will be eliminated from the src base + soon (with a limited exception for arm). Please update to the package asap + and report any issues to x11@freebsd.org. + + Generally, anybody using the drm*-kmod packages should add + WITHOUT_DRM_MODULE=t and WITHOUT_DRM2_MODULE=t to avoid nasty + cross-threading surprises, especially with automatic driver + loading from X11 startup. These will become the defaults in 13-current + shortly. + 20181009: OpenSSL has been updated to version 1.1.1. This update included additional various API changes througout the base system.
