Alpha release of i386 support for graphics/drm-devel-kmod

Tue Nov 13 03:28:34 UTC 2018

Crossposting to x11 and current.

Dear all,

As of r484855, the LinuxKPI-based graphics/drm-devel-kmod port compiles
on recent CURRENT i386. The DRM modules available are i915, radeonkms,
and vmwgfx. amdgpu is *not* enabled currently.

This i386 support is of alpha quality.

It provides a potential future avenue for users currently relying on
drm-legacy for i386 graphics. The port is not well tested on i386 yet!
Radeon has some testing, i915 none. The graphics team does not have
hardware or resources to test this enablement properly. We do welcome
tests and pull requests against the kms-drm github[1] from people
relying on i386 graphics.

On behalf of the graphics team, 

Johannes
