This is working well for me together with the drm-next changes from https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics. In fact, with recent drm-next bits, I can even suspend and resume with my Skylake notebook, something that has rarely worked before, and applications that used to crash deterministically (e.g., Thunderbird when opening an OAuth window) are now working fine. Overall, this is a very nice experience!

Thank you!
