Very well, wilco shortly.


I tried radeonkms_load & drm_load before (*not* drm2_load) in my 
loader.conf, are 'radeonkms_load' & 'drm2_load' the correct loader.conf 
variables ? I noticed the modules are called radeonkms_port.ko & 
drm2_port.ko, not radeonkms.ko & drm2.ko, hence the question. Thanks & 
TIA & have a good one.
