As a user, I would like to see most of the linux DRM features incorporated, If they like it, i suggest porting memory manager first, then modesetting (you need memory manager for modesetting at least i strongly discourage to do it without one). Currently I'm merging the core code which results in mostly using the linux code with some macros and ifdefs. There are a few things I plan to keep from the freebsd side however. Once I get the baseline merged, I will begin work on the memory manager. - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.

BSD libdrm Update
I'm currently working on updating the bsd libdrm for use with my freebsd system. To reduce the work involved, I'm using some code from the linux kernel for lists and atomics. This also greatly reduces the amount of unique code required. Unfortunately I only have radeon rv370 and intel i810 class hardware so my testing capability is somewhat limited. My thoughts are that i9i5 flavor hardware may be the best way to to check out the code. Another option is to stick with radeon and to switch over to the mode-setting branch at some point. So does anyone have any ideas on what would be the best testing approach? - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.

As far as i know BSD/drm does not have memory manager support thus modesetting is not operational on BSD as it needs the memory manager. libdrm so far is a pretty small layer on top of kernel interface to make userspace life easier. For testing current BSD functionalities i believe a working 3D acceleration under X is the best use case given that DRM is primilary designed and written for this usage.
