I feel this is a bit of a milestone as it means that it is possible that in the future graphics support on FreeBSD could proceed in lockstep with Linux.

I just picked up a Skylake i5 NUC (NUC6i5SYH) and was looking for help on what
I need to do to tryout the driver support for Skylake on it.

Currently I have FreeBSD-current (as of a couple of days ago) running on it.
I've read through most of the emails here discussing drm-next support but I'm
not at all clear on where to start? What do I need to do/get?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob
