I occasionally hack on OpenBSD and ramble on twitter @canadianbryan, bluesky @brynet.ca.

Most of the common drm code and kernel gpu drivers are already MIT/X licensed for historical reasons, same goes for the Mesa GL and Xorg components.

OpenBSD 7.9 was already on the 6.18.y longterm support version for the drm(4) drivers, Jonathan Gray (jsg@) completed the update back in March, sponsored by the OpenBSD Foundation.

I just wanted to highlight Jonathan's continued efforts backporting updates in my usual "HYPE" post series for the upcoming OpenBSD 8.0 release.

(I'm the author of the mastodon post that was shared.)

nv(4) is the old 2D user modesetting X driver (DDX), for legacy devices.

There is no kms drm or 3D acceleration for nvidia on OpenBSD.

Yes, the upcoming OpenBSD 8.0 release will have inteldrm/radeondrm/amdgpu drivers from Linux 6.18.y/6.18.53.

I OK'd this port. I apologize in advance.

With my OpenBSD developer hat on, getting new hardware in the hands of developers is really important, many of us are hacking on 5-10 year old thinkpads that need replacing.

The OpenBSD foundation is ~23% away from its fundraising goal for 2026, which helps support developer hackathons and project infrastructure, etc.

Shamelessly, if I may add a personal plea, in addition to funding the open source projects you use, if you can, please do consider directly supporting individual contributors/developers personally who work on those projects, many are volunteers and even a small monthly contribution could mean the difference.

OpenSSH -portable is maintained by the OpenSSH developers, who are also OpenBSD developers.

> sshd(8): On OS X SDK >= 27, sandboxing is no longer supported as the API we depended upon has been removed and no obvious alternative provided.
