Graham, thanks for the reply. Since my original post on this thread last night, I went through the make install clean of the drm-current-kmod port. It didn't take too long, probably half an hour or so. It gave an exit message to put a line in /etc/rc.donf: kld_list="amdgpu" , which I did, rebooted and the same problem. I tried the complete path: kls_list="/boot/modules/amdgpu.ko" but the same problem. I know that it's loading the amdgpu kmodule because when it is booting up and gets to the part of discovery of my Radeon/Kabini video it suddenly shows a "wide fuzzy line", right there in the console. The console message reads like I may have permissions issues, but that can't be true, because if I specify the older radeokms.ko it tries to load it and then hangs. So i have the right module. But what you just said about installing the xf86-video-ati sounds like good advice. The console error message is in /var/log/Xorg.0.~ and complains about being unable to load an "ati" module. I bet this might do it. My rather old computer is an HP Pavilion 23 all-in-one built & bought in 2014 with an AMD E2-3000 cpu with Radeon HD video. It's all clamped in a plastic frame and I've never looked inside myself. I intend to buy buy a new computer, and it will be in a tower case that you can easily get into, maybe with a clear glass or plastic side. I like to see the lights blink. And I have my heart set on a Threadripper... OK, I'm going to log off, re-boot into my FreeBSD partition, and try to install xf86-video-ati, probably from the ports, under graphics I guess. Thanks a lot, Clay On Sun, Aug 18, 2019 at 3:16 PM Graham Perrin <grahamperrin_at_gmail.com> wrote: > On 18/08/2019 03:08, Clay Daniels Jr. wrote: > > … am I missing something else? … > > Re: > < > https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2019-August/074074.html> > > > > If you haven't already done so, it's probably recommended to install > xf86-video-ati. > > What model is the HP? > > Will you use a desktop environment? > >Received on Sun Aug 18 2019 - 18:59:49 UTC
