The stable/12 branch has been created in subversion from head
revision r339432.
+20181015:
+ Ports for the DRM modules have been simplified. 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 x...@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.
