Hi, We have a Supermicro X11SSH-F motherboard which has a ASPEED AST2400 video chipset with FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE r341666 GENERIC amd64 on it. Unfortunately I am unable to get X working with it properly, I have the xf86-video-ast package (version 1.1.5_2) installed, however X seems to hang when started. If I switch to the VESA driver (ie run X -configure, then change ast to vesa) it works but is *quite* slow. I have exactly this motherboard running a FreeBSD 11 kernel (but with FreeBSD 9 user land for reasons) and X works quite well there. I've tried using syscons instead of vt but it still doesn't work properly. Does anyone have any suggestions?
