Hi!

Before updating xf86-video-ati to 7.5.0, we would like some people to
try it out. The reason is that 7.4.0 was crashing for several users, so
we want to be sure it's fixed in 7.5.0.

Here's patch:
https://people.freebsd.org/~dumbbell/graphics/ports-xf86-video-ati-7.5.0.patch



To apply it:
   cd /usr/ports
   patch -p1 < /path/to/ports-xf86-video-ati-7.5.0.patch

Then update x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati with your method of choice.

What we're especially looking for is report of successful or failed
startup of the X server. With 7.4.0, the server would crash during
startup. But with 7.5.0, none of us could reproduce the problem.

When you're finished, you may restore your vanilla ports tree:
   cd /usr/ports
   patch -p1 -R < /path/to/ports-xf86-video-ati-7.5.0.patch
   find x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati -name "*.orig" -delete

Thank you for your help!

Strange problem. monitor doesn't wake up after all night sleep,
moreover, when I tried to connect my tv on hdmi I had 256 colors instead
of 16 million and no hardware acceleration at all. ports tree is as new
as yesterday.

btw, Jean-Sebastien, xf86-video-ati-ums doesn't work at all, just blank
screen:

X.Org X Server 1.12.4

7.4.0 works fine yet, I'll try to wait for a night sleep and wakeup of
monitor

I was too enthusiastic about 7.4.0, I suppose I have a big deal of bad carma here, because of no version of any radeon-kms drivers works stable for me at all. 7.4.0 just hanged out my machine without anything in logs :(

SY, Marat

Jean, can you tell me what steps should be taken to make xf86-video-radeon-ums work? now it just complains about and refuses to show anything but black screen, monitor is on, so black screen with correct resolution and refresh rate. does this -ums driver load radeon kernel module, and. if loads, what module it should load? will it work with vt or not?
