Hi, Note: I do not receive mail from the list, please send replies to me directly too. Thanks! I'm trying to set up Wayland on a Libreboot system (libreboot-20241206rev8_x220_8mb_seabios_txtmode). I'm using SeaBIOS in text mode, and the first thing I realize is that on my 16:10 display, FreeBSD only takes about the space for 4:3. I attempted to install Sway and related Wayland software according to the handbook, in addition to mesa-dri, mesa-libs, and drm-kmod. I added kern.vty=3D"vt" in /boot/loader.conf with no effect. Then I tried kldload i915kms, which caused my screen to flicker for two seconds, then all text disappears and I am left with a black screen with a few rows of semi-random white pixels that respond to my input. Does anyone know how I could begin to debug this? Thanks! I'm on 14.2-RELEASE. Thanks! Additional references: https://libreboot.org/docs/bsd/ -- Best regards, Runxi Yu Year 11 YK Pao School
