Did you build world yesterday and now drm-kmod is working again?The only
problem I have with legacy both drm and ati is that smplayer crashes the
system and I have to reset via power switch.
I updated and installed kernel and world on Tuesday, mainly to bring in the
clang 8.0.0 changes. Then, yesterday, I saw graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod
listed when I did a portsnap update and so built it on the off-chance
whatever had been updated in it would cause it to work again on my system.
I replaced my existing graphics/drm-legacy-kmod with it, and the system did
not hang in multiuser when trying to load the kmod. The resultant console
worked like before (when I used graphics/drm-kmod).
I just looked at the graphics/drm-kmod Makefile and
graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod is the port selected for my OSVERSION (1200507)
when installing.
Cheers,
Paul.
PS: I am only using graphics/drm-kmod for the system console, to get more
text columns than the built-in 640x480 VGA console would otherwise allow.

As of yesterday, the graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod port is working for me[1].
This is good news because a) the video quality is better, and, b) it
supports colour, which graphics/drm-legacy-kmod didn't seem to. (So now I
get a green status bar again in tmux.)
In other words, it may be that whatever broke in graphics/drm-kmod has now
been fixed?
Cheers,
Paul.
