Hi Steve! Don't panic :) drm2/i915kms/radeonkms can't be built as part of static kernel. at least no definitions for that (sys/conf/files or sys/conf/files. ${ARCH} should contain instructions which modules to include). and newcons is unrelated here :) You can try it with just preload modules. 1. Build/install kernel with vt and vt_vga. 2. reboot and break in the loader. 3. do: load i915kms 4. do: boot Have a nice day! > > -- > Steve > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current_at_freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-current-unsubscribe_at_freebsd.org" WBW -- Aleksandr Rybalko <ray_at_freebsd.org>Received on Tue Dec 17 2013 - 21:15:55 UTC
