IMO graphics/drm-legacy should be depreciated sooner than later. I would expect the graphics team could better spend their time and energy on drm-current, which btw works perfectly on my old laptop converted to i386 testbed, than maintaining old bitrot. When can we expect drm-legacy to finally be removed from ports? -- Pardon the typos and autocorrect, small keyboard in use.
