The instructions in pkg-message (at the time, haven't updated ports in a
day or so) contradict this:

$ cd /usr/ports/graphics/drm-next-kmod/
$ ls
Makefile        distinfo        pkg-descr       pkg-message
pkg-plist       work
$ less pkg-message

[snip]
The drm-next-kmod port can be enabled for amdgpu (for AMD GPUs starting
with the HD7000 series / Tahiti) or i915kms (for Intel APUs starting
with HD3000 / Sandy Bridge) through kld_list in /etc/rc.conf. radeonkms
for older AMD GPUs can be loaded and there are some positive reports if
EFI boot is NOT enabled (similar to amdgpu).

For amdgpu: kld_list="amdgpu"
For Intel: kld_list="/boot/modules/i915kms.ko"
For radeonkms: kld_list="/boot/modules/radeonkms.ko"

Please ensure that all users requiring graphics are members of the
"video" group.

Older generations are supported by the stable kms modules (radeonkms /
i915kms) in base.

svnlite info shows /usr/ports at r481442. Shall I make bug report?

thanks,
