Can you resubmit this as a shar per https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/porting-submitting.html ? Thanks! I'll close this PR in a few days -- there's no shar file. x11@, I was going to close this new-port PR -- no shar and the pkg-plist features @dirrmtry. However, it's a simple patch so I'll assign this driver port to you guys to do with what you want. Created attachment 158828 [details]

Update xf86-video-ast to v1.1.5
Upstream xf86-video-ast has been updated to v1.1.5. Update shar file accordingly.
Currently looking at this. It seems these controllers are only to be found on i386/amd64? Usually found on BMC of Xeon E5, Xeon-D, Atom C2000, etc. server systems. I haven't have access to one, but it looks Cavium ThunderX systems (arm64) use Aspeed BMC as well. https://www.servethehome.com/gigabyte-r120-t30-overview-first-cavium-thunderx-system/ A commit references this bug: Author: jmd Date: Mon Jan 30 01:42:13 UTC 2017 New revision: 432816 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/432816 Log: Add xf86-video-ast driver for ASPEED graphics controllers in recent server motherboards.

Created attachment 148800 [details] Patch to add port The ASPEED graphics controller is found embedded in a server of recent server motherboards. The freedesktop xf86-video-ast driver compiles and works out of the box but is missing from the ports tree. The attached fixes that.
