Hi,

I am not sure if it the same with the Atoms integrated graphics, but I
think it is.
Intel has designed a new X11 acceleration architecture UXA which when
used in drivers require a different kernel drm module with GEM support
and ideally KMS there is some effort ongoing to port such drivers from
OpenBSD: https://github.com/gsutre/netbsd-drmgem
I tried the patch shortly the kernel mode driver attaches, on my
ThinkPad X201s but I haven't got the patched intel-driver to compile.
The code the patch brings in goes to sys/dev/pci/drm while I think it
should go to sys/external/bsd/drm/dist but that's just some detail.

Greetings,
Lars
