That would be great :) We've just recently started to investigate seriously what needs to be done to add KMS support in our kernel and make the changes necessary. A former GSOC student, David Shao, has been working on it since 2010 but he's really uncommunicative and what he's doing has been mostly overlooked until now. Some pointers: David Shao's git tree: https://github.com/davshao/dflygsocdrm/commits/gsocdrm_github A small report on what needs to be done: https://github.com/davshao/dflygsocdrm/issues/1 Adding clflush support: http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2363 -- Francois Tigeot
