Hi Kostik,

We've noticed that your patch for drmCheckModesettingSupported():

http://people.freebsd.org/~kib/drm/libdrm.2.patch

is not currently being used, as upstream doesn't have it, and the
FreeBSD port uses a simpler, "return 0" stub instead:

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/graphics/libdrm/files/extra-xf86drmMode.c?revision=300896&view=markup

Is this patch still meant to be used with current FreeBSD?

We're not even sure if the patch works anymore. If the "return 0" stub
is the way to go, we could push it upstream and also apply it in Debian
to follow what FreeBSD is doing.
