[drm-kmod] Help completing the compatibility matrix "Intel GPUs vs FreeBSD versions"

Updated the table again.
The approach trying to collect information in the forums didn't really work out, as too few people use brand-new Intel stuff.

Better is probably letting the installer send the success/failure data of all combos marked with ? to a server, so the people using the installer can effortlessly help collecting good data, quantity- and quality-wise, if they want, while keeping traffic to a minimum.

Will send Mjölnir the table generator script, so he can use and optimize the thing for the Wiki. Thank you very much, Mjölnir!

And many thanks to all posters!
Your help was essential to prove these old statements wrong that drm-kmod soon will only work with Haswell and higher.
 
hi....i am using a haswell i7 cpu.....2013 model....it comes with a Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller n a nvidia GF117M. my kld_list=i915kms. freebsd 12.2 works. i could run 3k video clips with mpv by installing libva-intel-driver n libva-intel-hybrid-driver running hardware rendering. without those 2 libva drivers, 3k runs on software rendering. the same thing also works on freebsd 13 RELEASE, but not on freebsd 13 STABLE. on 13 STABLE, I could not load i915kms module. i even tried installing xf86-video-intel but still didn't work. i tried both drivers from binary n ports...

Hello,

you need to build graphics/drm-kmod from ports if you are using 13 STABLE because there could be a kernel mismatch by using the official binary version because they are built for 13-RELEASE.

To cleanup drm-kmod correctly do

pkg remove drm-kmod && pkg autoremove.

If you move from packages to ports on this port.

i did those...... i tried both drivers from binary n ports...dint u read it
 
is this the one.....

Oh ok, then do you can provide a log of /var/log/messages after trying to load the kernel module?

According to the previous conversation among the members of the group does my current installed version of freeBSD 13 (xfce4)

automatic detects the Intel HD Graphics 4400 GPU on my machine?

Im attaching the GPU details of my system

thank you

P.S im asking because my knowledge about hardware and freeBSD has confused me

Just look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and check it yourself.

This is how it looks for my Nvidia Quadro 1000M. You're looking for Intel or something related to a GPU:

Hello everyone,

The i915 driver is reported to work on the table above, but it in my case with a fresh 13.1-RELEASE install, it doesn't. The driver isn't loaded as reported in bug report #245443, and vgapci is used instead.

Seeing the graphics/gpu-firmware-intel-kmod port and it's Makefile, it looks like flavor CometLake is missing, while earlier CoffeLake is still available. As far as I understand this wiki page, CometLake is supported by Linux 5.4 and should be available with FreeBSD 13. In bug report #245443 it was suggested to use drm-devel-kmod instead of drm-kmod with 13.0-CURRENT, but neither the port nor the package are there anymore.

Any idea to get i915/cometLake loaded by Xorg? Thanks a lot.
