As of yesterday, the graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod port is working for me[1].?
This is good news because a) the video quality is better, and, b) it?
supports colour, which graphics/drm-legacy-kmod didn't seem to.? (So now I?
get a green status bar again in tmux.)
In other words, it may be that whatever broke in graphics/drm-kmod has now?
been fixed?
Cheers,
Paul.
