Thanks Doug! This should be a big help as I was clueless as to where to begin.
The URL for instructions appears to cover what I need.

I just picked up a Skylake i5 NUC (NUC6i5SYH) and was looking for help on what
I need to do to tryout the driver support for Skylake on it.

Currently I have FreeBSD-current (as of a couple of days ago) running on it.
I've read through most of the emails here discussing drm-next support but I'm
not at all clear on where to start? What do I need to do/get?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Hey Bob,
Here is the wiki for the work that mmacy@ and others are working on that 
describes how to get started:


https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics/wiki

This should have enough info to get started on your end with.  Briefly 
you will need to close that git repository and at the least build and 
install the kernel from those sources (I've been running the 
world+kernel from there w/o any issues on my Skylake system).


There is also a section on installing a new pkg repository that has 
updated Xorg and other binaries that are required for this new code to work.


Hope this helps!

IFC stands for "integrated from CURRENT". Which just means I've merged all the 
recent changes to -CURRENT to my branches so that the only changes in them with 
respect to HEAD are my own work. This is mostly important to other people 
trying to track the FreeBSD development branch.

Hello

I'd like to know what 'IFCed to HEAD' means. I'm quite new to FreeBSD.

Thank you for your work. Looking forward to running FreeBSD on my laptop
with graphics.

Thanks in advance.

Wow. This is incredibly welcome news. And very impressive!   

And there's not the slightest bit of 'bit' in this milestone :)

Thanks a *lot* for your hard work!

All of this is and means a huge deal for our users and us as a project,
thank you to everyone on Team Graphics™ and every one else who has been
involved for their ongoing effort.

May I just say, congratulations on the great milestone, and thank you very
much for your efforts!

I owe you beer.

gfx-next update: drm-4.8-rc2 tagged in drm-next

[Matthew Macy]

As of this moment sys/dev/drm in the drm-next tree is sync with 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux drivers/gpu/drm (albeit only for the subset 
of drivers that FreeBSD supports -  i915, radeon, and amdgpu). I feel this is a 
bit of a milestone as it means that it is possible that in the future graphics 
support on FreeBSD could proceed in lockstep with Linux. 

In addition I have IFCed both drm-next-4.6 and drm-next to HEAD as of today.

Once I'm done working on Kaby Lake support I intend to get radeon and amdgpu to 
the point where they work as well as i915. Following that we'll need to spend 
some time resolving general correctness issues.
