Matt Macy added support for current Intel and amdgpu graphics out of tree for now https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics/tree/drm-next https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics/tree.... It is up to Linux 4.7. The graphics stuff is MIT licensed and the linuxkpi is re-implemented so it will eventually trickle into 11.x or 12 and/or a loadable module packaged with FreeBSD Ports.
Still lots of rough edges but it's pretty fun to watch and participate.
- cm3 10y agoMatt's github profile has a NextBSD repository, so is he related to Kip Macy in any way?
- josh64 10y agoRumour has it they are the same person.
- byuu 10y agoSo then, there won't be Haswell graphics support out of the box on FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE? :(
- cm3 10y agoThat sounds right[1], but it's very possible that 11.1 will get it. [1] https://wiki.freebsd.org/WhatsNew/FreeBSD11 https://wiki.freebsd.org/WhatsNew/FreeBSD11
- notaplumber 10y agoMeanwhile OpenBSD has had Haswell support since 5.5, Broadwell/Bay Trail since 5.9. http://www.openbsd.org/55.html http://www.openbsd.org/55.html http://www.openbsd.org/59.html http://www.openbsd.org/59.html
- byuu 10y agoThat they do, and that's quite admirable (and important, since nVidia won't port their binary blob drivers; and nouveau doesn't run on OpenBSD either.) Out of the box ZFS boot is still more important to me than getting rid of my Radeon card, though.
- int_19h 10y agoHow does NetBSD fare in that regard?
- kev009 10y agoHaswell is in 11.0, anything newer than that needs to use out of tree.
