I switched over to using the new Xorg and VT, using the prebuilt packages, all of which went relkatively smoothly. But I have lost hardware acceleration inside X. My card is a Radeon 3450 which is an RV620 card. If I boot the machine and try and kiad radeomkms.ko by hand then it just locks up the machine. No useful info on the consolue. If I try loadiing radeonkms and boot time, it then displays a lot more information when it boots about loading up drm, and then afils saying is callot load the firmware for the card. Specificly it cant load radeonkmsfw_RV620_pfp At this point booting stops and the machine is unresponsive. Now I dont particularly mind the loss of hardware acceleration, as I dont use it anyway, but I thought I should report this as a bug, as this should be a supported card and configuration. KMS is kernel related to this is the correct place I hope. The kernel is r268669 from Tuesday of this week, and the packages are the binary builds from Monday, using the pkg repository for systems runnijng the new Xorg. The machine is an AMD Phenom II 965 with 4 gig of RAM, and the motherboard is MSI K9A2 Platinum (the 7376 model). Am quite happy to try out things on this too, as its my personal workstation so doesnt disruopt anyone else when it crashes. cheers, -pete.

No useful info on the consolue.How do you tell that the machine is locked up? Are you unable to reach it using ssh? Could you please try with syscons, instead of VT?> If I try loadiing radeonkms and boot time, it then displays a lot > more information when it boots about loading up drm, and then afils > saying is callot load the firmware for the card. Specificly > it cant load radeonkmsfw_RV620_pfpThis is expected, because the filesystem isn't available at this point in the boot. You have to load whatever firmware(s) are required by radeonkms.ko in your loader.conf. See the wiki: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics#Video_driver_loaded_at_boot_time In your case, you would have to add the following lines to /boot/loader.conf: radeonkms_load="YES" radeonkmsfw_RV620_pfp_load="YES" radeonkmsfw_RV620_me_load="YES" radeonkmsfw_R600_rlc_load="YES" -- Jean-S?bastien P?dron -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
