First install

[karu.pruun]

Hello

Both the Intel (i915) and Radeon (radeon), and also AMD (amdgpu)
graphics drivers are in the source tree and have been automatically
built as modules which reside in /boot/kernel:

/boot/kernel/i915.ko
/boot/kernel/radeon.ko
/boot/kernel/amdgpu.ko

After having booted the system, you can load them at command line:

% sudo kldload i915

and if this succeeds, put this line in /etc/rc.conf to load at boot:

---/etc/rc.conf---
i915_load="YES"
--- ---

The main question is, does the driver support your particular GPU?
There's been quite a bit of work done recently to upgrade the graphics
stack, both the drivers and the drm subsystem, but there is still work
to do.

Best

Peeter
