Yes, that is my own conclusion regarding drm-legacy-kmod-g20180921 which
is based on a recent CURRNT source - and by the way can not be used on
STABLE-11.
But the more fundamental problem is that the drm-legacy-kmod ports do
not contain any firmware, and are unable to use the firmwares of the
gpu-firmware-kmod port (absence or renaming - I do not know)
