Is there chance for dealing with latest Ivy Bridge KMS regressions before branching? Also, if I have understood correctly, Riastradh's mails on tech-kern@ suggests that whole KMS (related to Ivy or not) stuff needs some extra additions to kernel, for example: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2014/07/23/msg017392.html Regards, -- Piotr 'aniou' Meyer

That's what the beta is for! :) All the code and build mechanisms for the KMS drivers are imported and in-place; hopefully during the beta period existing bugs will get fixed.
