We at HardenedBSD have an experimental branch that is kept up-to-date with FreeBSD HEAD along with Jean-Sebastien's excellent work (and HardenedBSD's awesomeness on top of that). The code is here: https://github.com/HardenedBSD/hardenedBSD-playground/tree/hardened/experimental/master-i915 Latest builds are here: http://jenkins.hardenedbsd.org/builds/HardenedBSD-CURRENT-i915kms-amd64-LATEST/ISO-IMAGES/ Thanks, -- Shawn Webb HardenedBSD GPG Key ID: 0x6A84658F52456EEE GPG Key Fingerprint: 2ABA B6BD EF6A F486 BE89 3D9E 6A84 658F 5245 6EEE signature.asc Description: PGP signature

The problem is not the stability of Haswell support, but more the regressions on already supported GPUs. Currently, there is one big regression: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-base-graphics/issues/2 It takes seconds to panic a Sandybridge or Haswell (so I suppose Ivy Bridge is impacted too). Once this is fixed (and so far my attempts failed), I believe the patch can go in -CURRENT. Haswell support won't be rock solid but anyway, Linux 3.8, the base we use, had only initial support. Many bugfixes came in Linux 3.9 and 3.10. Hopefully, we'll get there more quickly. -- Jean-Sébastien Pédron signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
