--- Comment #5 from Niclas Zeising <zeising at FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Friedrich Volkmann from comment #4)
drm-legacy, which is the base version (and also in ports for now, since the
base version has been removed in FreeBSD 13) is quite old, and lacks support
for newer GPUs.  It completely lacks support for amdgpu based graphics cards,
and support for intel GPUs end around the Haswell generation.  This driver is
not updated, and barely maintained (only bugfixes and so on)
The new drm-kmod (drm-fbsd11.2-kmod, drm-fbsd12.0-kmod, drm-current-kmod) are
based on the Linux GPU drivers, and are using the linux KPI translation layer
in FreeBSD.  This makes them much easier to keep up to date.  A lot has
happened, and these drivers are much more up to date, and actively maintained,
so I suggest you update to try them.
