 Indeed, sadly DRM on FreeBSD works even worse than linux.
 This for me ment constant crashes, freezes etc and basically "sorry we
 cant fix it we don't understand it" for pretty much all issues :/

 I'd rather have Haiku modesetting drivers that work than drm drivers that
 do 3d but randomly crash my deskop.
 So, if DRM can be used in the sense that the driver *only* does the 3d
 stuff in userpsace and we keep our modesetting driver that could be an
 avenue that might work.
 We should keep the door open for native drivers next to this though, not
 become dependant on drm.

 I'd be fine with helping maintining gpu drivers but would probably need
 some guidance to get started.
