I propose that we remove the old drm2 driver (sys/dev/drm2) from
FreeBSD. I suggest the driver is marked as deprecated in 11.x and
removed from 12.0, as was done for other drivers recently. Some
background and rationale:
Sounds good ( deprecate resp remove ). It causes more confusion and
problems and it solves nothing.
Check the Makefiles
% more /usr/ports/graphics/drm-next-kmod/Makefile
ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= amd64
ONLY_FOR_ARCHS_REASON= the new KMS components are only supported on amd64
Not to ia32 friendly.
So do people use i386 for desktop? And need the latest KMS stuff?
Just a data point. I had to replace the dead disk in my laptop,
and after 2 days of doing a re-install and update of -current
on a shiny new SSD.
Before loading Xorg.
% kldstat
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 7 0x800000 1ac31d4 kernel
2 1 0x1e9ae000 5000 ums.ko
3 1 0x1e9b9000 4000 uhid.ko
After starting Xorg without an xorg.conf in /etc/X11.
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 27 0x800000 1ac31d4 kernel
2 1 0x1e9ae000 5000 ums.ko
3 1 0x1e9b9000 4000 uhid.ko
4 1 0x1eaa9000 96000 i915kms.ko
5 1 0x1eb40000 4a000 drm2.ko
6 4 0x1eb8b000 5000 iicbus.ko
7 1 0x1ebc9000 3000 iic.ko
8 1 0x1ebcf000 4000 iicbb.ko
So, drm2.ko and i915kms.ko are loaded automatically. It is
unclear why functionality that works should be removed.
xwininfo shows
Width: 1400
Height: 1050
Depth: 24
Visual: 0x21
One of the reasons for the deprecation and removal of the drm2 bits is
that they prevent us from automatically loading the drm-next/stable-kmod
kernel modules, since the two collide.
