The kmod repositories were added shortly after 14.2-RELEASE. Point at

in order to get e.g. working graphics.

16	Should we have a "priority" value here to make sure people get kernel modules from the FreeBSD-kmods repository rather than from the FreeBSD repository?

If this is approved, I will merge it for 14.3-RC1.

Thank you. It's a highly appreciated and long-awaited change. Will this make it into 14.3 ?

Edit:
I am sorry for the noise. I wish I had read all the comments above before asking.

Concerning priority, even setting a higher priority didn't help in my case to seamlessly switch to the kmod repo, pkg(8) insisted on using the previous repo, only hiding the old one helped. It looks like pkg(8), when doing the upgrade, sticks to the repo where pkg was found earlier.

Anyway, the existence of this repo will come to the awareness of the wider userbase, and thus many possible to be reported in future bug reports regarding drm-kmod will never show up.
