https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D273369 --- Comment #11 from Jason A. Harmening <jah@FreeBSD.org> --- Unfortunately generating and editing the config file didn't fix anything. = I've attached the auto-generated config files for both the working and failing xorg-server packages, although they're identical. As expected, the unedited auto-generated config file worked (X started successfully) with the older package but not the newer package. After editing the config file, X still failed to start with the newer package; logfile attached. Based on the logfile, it looks as though the newer xorg-server package is s= till trying to use the ASpeed card even though its Card0 entry has been removed = from the config file. Maybe a little bit more info about my server is in order here: I have an older Samsung monitor with both VGA and DVI inputs. The VGA inpu= t is connected to the ASpeed BMC, because the motherboard only produces video ou= tput on the BMC during early UEFI init, and it's useful as a fallback in case there's a problem with the amdgpu kld. The DVI input is hooked to the R550= ; I have amdgpu.ko configured to auto-load at boot, which places the console in framebuffer mode on the monitor's DVI input.=20=20 It looks as though maybe the older xorg-server was able to auto-detect that= the framebuffer was running on the R550 and use that for video output, while the newer package doesn't seem to do that. And as you might expect, if I don't load amdgpu the new xorg-server package works fine on the VGA input, but of course with crappy resolution. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
