!! Word of caution if anyone is thinking of upgrading FreeBSD 14.2->14.3 on a desktop machine !!
My first time trying to upgrade FreeBSD. Everything seemed OK but upon reboot no longer have working graphic card support:
$ dmesg | grep drm
KLD drm.ko: depends on dmabuf - not available or version mismatch
[...]
Quick preliminary search leads me to think I might need to build some packages from ports (another first).
An opportunity for troubleshooting! 🙂
