Update:
I just upgraded to latest versions of the modules from the ports tree:
May 17 13:25:17 kg-z30b pkg-static: gpu-firmware-kmod-g20180319_1 installed
May 17 13:28:42 kg-z30b pkg-static: drm-next-kmod-4.11.g20180505_1 installed

and the lag in the console is now gone. Thanks!
Oh, and I added a comment on Issue 38 in Github.

Hey there - thanks for testing!  I would recommend posting an issue on
the Github repo for this.  If you could be sure to include which
revision you are running (11-stable or 12-current revision) in addition
to the version of the port/pkg you have install that'd be helpful.

Cheers,
-pete

Thanks for the hard work by all involved!

Tested a few days ago, reported in the forum post here: 
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/using-drm-next-kmod-on-freebsd-11-stable.64731/#post-378702
TL;DR - it works on a Toshiba Satellite Z30-B-10W (Broadwell-U,  Intel HD 
Graphics 5500). One issue - the text console (before starting Xorg) has serious 
lag, 
you can type a command before anything shows on the screen. Should I open an 
issue for this on Github?

Thanks, Hans! I should have looked at the message file. It explained most
of it, though I especially appreciate the tearfree config as I am using
Intel graphics.

This is also the first I have seen of modular config files. Guess I have
some man page reading to do.

Hi Kevin,



Wow! That is awesome. Thanks to all of the contributors.


Thank you!



Any instructions? Am I right that the mod setting driver should generally
be used. None of the links above really covers implementation.


I believe the package when you install it will give you some 
instructions in the pkg-message.


Basically:

portsnap fetch update

Make sure your kernel sources in /usr/src .
cd /usr/src
make buildkernel -jX
make installkernel -jX

cd /usr/ports/graphics/drm-next-kmod
make all install clean

Edit /etc/rc.conf and add for example:

kld_list="i915kms"

Then reboot and twin your thumbs.

If it fails goto single user mode.

mount -a

Edit /etc/rc.conf and remove the kld_list=...
Save and type exit.

Before starting X.org you should have the correct xf86-video-xxx drivers 
installed, because then 2D and 3D acceleration will activate.


A quick tip for tear-free video with intel drivers:

cat /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Device0"
   Driver "intel"
   Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
   Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

+1.  I have the vague notion that drm-next has something to do with
supporting newer graphics hardware.  Since I just bought a new x86 box
whose builtin radeon R6 isn't supported by -current that sounds
interesting to me, where do I find out more about drm-next and how to
try it?

[CFT] [X11] graphics/drm-next-kmod now builds, loads and works on FreeBSD-11-stable

[Hans Petter Selasky]

Hi FreeBSD desktop users!

During the past week and over the weekend all parts needed for building, 
loading and using graphics/drm-next-kmod on FreeBSD-11-stable have been 
completed!


A big thanks to all the people contributing to graphics support under 
FreeBSD in both kernel and user-space! You'll find their names in the 
commit logs including myself :-)
