I answer myself, because apparently DRM is the hurdle to take. In the 
release announcement for NetBSD 9.0 it was stated that this is at the 
level of Linux 4.4. In the announcement of NetBSD 9.1 it is not 
mentioned, so it is assumed that it remained stable. Now a matrix would 
be good, which shows which GPU is fully supported in this way :-) Is 
there such a matrix for NetBSD? Or can somebody navigate me to the 
source files, which show me the current state of it? Or even better, is 
there a wiki page or something like that (as exists for Xen for example)?

Kind regards
