What does 'sysctl kern.vty' say? If it is not 'vt', you need the
following stuff.
/boot/loader.conf should contain
kern.vty="vt"
And /etc/rc.conf
kld_list="radeonkms"
Or something similar.
FreeBSD is in the transition of old-style syscons- and vt-terminal.
The last one has support for modern KMS graphics, but is not the
default on 10 yet.
With UEFI boot it will be using vt but with the efifb driver by
default. Hopefully loading the radeon KMS driver (as Ronald suggests
above) will let it take over. Try it with just a “kldload radeonkms”
before adding it to rc.conf, just in case something gets wedged..
As you said, it is using vt. Unfortunately loading radeonkms didn't
help. It actually seems to be a regression; the only RADEON line
/var/log/Xorg.0.log now is the one that lists all the supported
chipsets. Immediately after that line it ends with

I noticed in the previous log that it said
[ 1292.463] (--) Using syscons driver with X support (version 2.0)
which made me think I had something set up incorrectly, since it's using
vt, not syscons.
Hi, I don't know about the other issues, but can confirm that my
Xorg.0.log also says syscons here while I'm using vt. That is normal.
Regards,
Ronald.

Greetings all,
I've just received a new Dell Precision 7810. I've installed FreeBSD
10.1 (UEFI boot), checked out sources, built world & kernel and am now
running r284449. So far, so good.
The problem is Xorg. I'm running the latest Xorg in ports; I just did
a
'make install clean' in /usr/ports/x11/xorg with no errors.
The display card is a FirePro W4100. lspci shows:
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[AMD/ATI] Cape Verde GL [FirePro W4100]
It has 4 DisplayPorts, and I have 2 monitors plugged in. If I run
'Xorg
-configure' it says
Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.
Configuration failed.
Looking through /var/log/Xorg.0.log it appears that the X server is
trying to use the RADEON driver, but ends with:

Should I be able to use this video card? I've done some googling, and
apparently at least some Linux people are using it.
It's not a huge deal if it doesn't work; I can install a Radeon HD
4670
that I know works. If I've mis-configured something, though, I'd like
to
fix it.
Thanks for any comments!
