This is a patch to a file used in the port itself, not to the kernel

must be put in the files directory in the port itself.
Gary, THANKS VERY MUCH! My problem is not yet solved, but I now see what
a patch involves, and can repeat the procedure. It make sense now. The
ports are really shell directories anyway, with just a makefile & some
description files. And you gave me the filename I needed to copy to a
thumbdrive, move it to the other computer and copy it to the ~/drm-kmod
directory.
This is what I have now, after successfully installing (making) the
drm-kmod port, writing kld-list="amdgpu" in /etc/rc.conf, and with or
without the /boot/loader line hw.syscons.disable=1, it will reboot , so
I installed xorg, rebooted and tried to run startx. It gives:
panic: vm_page_assert_busied: page (long##'s) not exculsive busy @
/usr/src/sys/vm/vmpage.c
etc...
Anyway, I have not wasted my time, and hopefully not anyone else's
either, because I learned something useful. Thanks,
Clay
