I can't comment on the Intel driver behavior, but I never tested the Radeon driver with UEFI yet. The BIOS errors you see mean that the driver failed to locate the Video BIOS. There no relation with the System BIOS or, in your case, UEFI. > info: [drm] radeon_acpi_vfct_bios: ===> Try VFCT... > info: [drm] radeon_acpi_vfct_bios: Get "VFCT" ACPI table > info: [drm] radeon_acpi_vfct_bios: Failed to get "VFCT" table: AE_NOT_FOUND Those calls to get the "VFCT" ACPI table should succeed in an UEFI context. But as I said, this was never tested. > error: [drm:pid1363:radeon_get_bios] *ERROR* Unable to locate a BIOS ROM > drmn0: error: Fatal error during GPU init > info: [drm] radeon: finishing device. > [TTM] Memory type 2 has not been initialized > device_attach: drmn0 attach returned 22 And here, without the Video BIOS, the driver misses too much information and abort the initialization of the card. I currently have no suggestion to make to debug and fix this situation. I need to study a bit what should be going on before. My laptop, which has UEFI available, doesn't boot FreeBSD for now (it fails to probe the system memory). I'll get back to you as soon as I can work on this. -- Jean-Sébastien Pédron
