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.
