Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel Severity: wishlist User: debian-bsd@lists.debian.org Usertags: kfreebsd It seems that KMS support is being integrated into kFreeBSD in upstream: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTA5MTc and will be present in 9.1 and 10.0. As for userland it should be possible to get a working xserver-xorg-video-intel now, possibly with some patching.
I think the phoronix article is incorrect, in that KMS support is not in FreeBSD mainline yet. The patches that are available should work equally well on mainline and the stable/9 branch at this point, though.
This will most likely need to wait until the patches are merged upstream. I'm filing this bug so the information is not forgotten.
Which is not to say that this is inaccurate; I do agree with both of these sentences.
