Thanks, googling around it seems that I missed a step:

#pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-kmods



I have been able to install the latest:


    drm-61-kmod: 6.1.128.1403000_4 [FreeBSD-kmods]
    drm-kmod: 20220907_3 [FreeBSD]

And remove the oldest:

     drm-515-kmod: 5.15.160.1403000_4



And it works fine:
