I was not suggesting doing it in pkgsrc, just as another way for you to
find out what has changed in the API that means that wlroots requires a
newer version of libdrm.

I have found the interface between libdrm and the kernel to be a bit
fragile, my best guess is that it usually works for X11 because more
than one client gets started together. Maybe it is fine with Wayland
too.

I see that mrg@ has updated the native version of libdrm.
