AMD Kernel Mode-Setting Continues On FreeBSD

[dumbbell]

Is there any source code out at the moment for this 9.* port?

Yes, you can find it here:

A contributor already started to work on a backport to 9.x. Once the driver is committed and has lived enough time in 10-CURRENT to stabilize, it'll be merged in 9-STABLE. However, I doubt i'll be ready for 9.2.

I'd be interested in trying it out in a spare PC-BSD install that I have lying around.

Quick question, would it be at all possible to backport this to FreeBSD 9.*?
I mean, not upstream, but could a user roll together a driver?

Thank you all for the kind words!

In the next report, I'll add more technical details on what works and doesn't work.

Why the hell is there so many articles about this all repeating the same thing?

Because you respond to every one of them in the same fashion and that makes you a sad excuse for a troll. Try harder.

Can we just ban lesterchester and openslowlaris? It's pretty obvious this is the BSD troll.

Really looking forward to this... With KMS for both Intel and AMD, and the job being done by the PC-BSD folks, there is really a nice BSD desktop alternative.

Thank you for the continued work on AMD KMS. I'd be delighted to hear more technical details about the work.
