But... for that reason I would expect that DRM/KMS drivers won't be part of
the xserver.tgz release for any other port than i386 or amd64?

Or does "so far" mean that it is planned to make those drivers useful for
all ports, even with restrictions (like hardware-accelerated GL, etc.)?

(Sorry, I didn't follow all discussions about it.)

So it was only a dumb frame buffer? Ok, Xvideo would be nice, but I have
never seen GL working on any of my NetBSD machines anway. ;)
