Thx for your hard work. The drm-next-kmod port enabled me to finally 
replace my ageing Thinkpad X220 with newer hardware.

The latest update (g20180117_3 -> 4.11.g20180224) to the drm-next-kmod 
port introduced a regression which causes Xorg on my T470s running 
12-current from a few days ago to fail at startup stating that it didn't 
find any screen.

Hello there,
My laptop is running FreeBSD-12 CURRENT, and i hadnt any problem with my
graphic before upgrading drm-next (g20180117_3 -> 4.11.g20180224). But now
it getting failed. Tried to build from source, but same result.
Laptop model: Lenovo E470

I just updated both the 12-current base system and the 
graphics/drm-next-kmod port on my Thinkpad T470s. The resulting system 
works except for the already documented regression in the VA API 
affecting hardware accelerated video playback in mpv.
