Bug#731144: kfreebsd: drm2 and i915kms kernel modules are not loaded automatically

[Markus Koschany <apo@gambaru.de>]

Package: kfreebsd-image-9.2-1-amd64
Version: 9.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer,

I have successfully installed kfreebsd-amd64 on my Lenovo Thinkpad
X200. This laptop ships an Intel GM45 chipset. Unfortunately the
graphic system falls back to Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe instead of using
the intel drivers for hardware acceleration. If I install the
xserver-xorg-video-intel and libgl1-mesa-dri package the i915 kernel
module is loaded but in fact I had to manually add drm2 and i915kms to
/etc/modules and to unload i915 to benefit from the features of the intel driver.
kfreebsd-10 and kfreebsd-11 currently show no improvements.

It would be nice if this worked out-of-the-box as with the linux
kernel for amd64.

Regards,

Markus
