Right, please correct this on the wiki. :) For Intel, the Linux drivers are maintained in-tree. The BSD variants are generally ported from there (or the mailing list) into their respective trees nowadays. > Other question is about section: Building DRM. > On Intel (that is my development case ) make install (without make -C > linux-core ) , will overwrite drm kernel headers , that is good ? "make install" from a kernel tree will overwrite the versions in /lib/modules, but it's easier to just copy them by hand from drivers/gpu/ to /lib/modules. > To be honest I don't know if libdrm could be different of drm kernel and > they could act independently or if we should check if headers of libdrm > and headers of drm kernel are equal.

I think this makes sense long term; however since the headers are slightly out of sync it has caused build problems for some packages.
