can you post your dmesg output from when you've set
kld_list="/boot/modules/amdgpu.ko"? also, please verify that your
user is in the "video" group. but from what you've described it
sounds like a conflict is popping up between the base amdgpu.ko and
the one available in the ports tree.
also, please ensure you are booting in "classic" BIOS mode and not
UEFI, IIRC there are some issues surrounding amdgpu with UEFI - i
don't have that hardware tho so can't elaborate.
Hi,thanks for the reply - am not in front of the machine today so I
cant really test unfortunately, but will get you the information
as soon as I can. The user is indeed in the 'video' group and
the machine is booting using normal BIOS not UEFI though, so all
things are "as the should be" regarding setup I think.
What drivers should I be using in Xorg for this by the way ? Thats
something I cant seem to find anywhere. 'amdgpu' sonds like the right
one possibly ?
I believe your best bet is to let Xorg probe your devices automatically
- i.e. don't have an xorg.conf in place when starting X.
On my end this will result in the "modesetting" driver being used, which
is the suggested driver to use for intel and i believe amdgpu systems.
it provides full acceleration, and is under active development
upstream. it should also be part of the xorg-server pkg, so you don't
need to install any additional video drivers to use the modesetting driver.
cheers,
