Hi Greg,

I'm reading this mailing list for a while now and wondering a lot why 
you guys are saying 'you need to install drm-next-kmod package' without 
mentioning that 'in order to do so you also need to re-compile kernel 
and the whole system from scratch and the result can not be considered 
as a stable OS' ...
Neither drm-next-kmod nor drm-stable-kmod are supported on the latest 
RELEASE version (11.1) of FreeBSD. Am I wrong?

Regards,
Denis
