Re: Packages graphics/drm-kmod & graphics/drm-612-kmod are missing from 2026q3 quarterly repo

HI Pedro

     the i915kms driver for Intel embedded GPU  is part  of the 
drm-612-kmod   port/package
      I am not qualified  to describe the  effect an older i915kms 
module   would have if its running  in  your  15.1  machine.
