Solved Linux 5.5.19 DRM or greater i.e. graphics/drm-devel-kmod on FreeBSD 13⋯

[Cath O'Deray]

Please: has anyone attempted to build a modified graphics/drm-devel-kmod on any build of FreeBSD 13?

Most recently, <https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/diff...e?id=0e09699300d49bbd304b5be47462ef3b615202c3> bumped the minimum OSVERSION to 1400024.

The local copy of <https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/graphics/drm-devel-kmod/Makefile> can be edited to artificially reduce the minimum, however I assume that much more would be required for the port to build; then more, for an installation of the module to be loadable and usable …

Can graphics/drm-devel-kmod not be compiled from ports on 13-stable? Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere; i've looked but not found anything to suggest it can't.

If they bumped OSVERSION, then that implies changes in the kernel, not just the drm module. You could look at the commits for I think the linuxkpi bits of the kernel or see if there is anything on the mailing lists.

Solved.
