https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D247441 --- Comment #19 from Scott Bennett <bennett@sdf.org> --- I have now been running FreeBSD hellas 11.4-STABLE FreeBSD 11.4-STABLE #26 r363403: Wed Jul 22 02:3= 4:08 CDT 2020 bennett@hellas:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/hellas amd64 for 7:39AM up 4 days, 22:44 plus the time it will take to post this messag= e. Niclas has not yet answered my two yes/no questions originally asked h= ere on 17 July 2020. However, since then I have answered the second one myself= by running portmaster graphics/drm-fbsd11.2-kmod and seeing that it rebuilt and reinstalled the same version of the port after an svn update /usr/ports. I= do not have the same answer for graphics/gpu-firmware-kmod because I neglected= to run it under script(1) in single-user mode. As of the time and date I installed the OS upgrade and reinstalled drm-fbsd11.2-kmod, there had been = no change to the latter since 28 April, which means that the drm bug hasn't be= en touched since then. If I can please get an answer to my question about cha= nges to gpu-firmware-kmod during that same time period, then we will know whether anything has been done there, too. On 21 July, another point was raised by Niclas, so I asked it here of Warner. To date, I have seen no answer to that question either. I do want= to know that answer because it might give me some idea how many more times I m= ight be told to update (again) to a "supported" revision or go away before I dec= ide that going away is the only remaining option to get to a system with usable graphics. I've been without usable graphics under FreeBSD off and on since= I started using FreeBSD 5.2.1 in 2005 with the "off" periods lasting from mon= ths to *years* at a time. This time has been going on for months already. If I had wanted a system for character terminal use only, I would gotten somethi= ng with an RS232 port and tracked down an old VT100 or the like. Lest Niclas still not understand, a) I do not like having my system cr= ash, leaving a mess to clean up manually and get everything restarted, b) there = is no reason to test again software that has not changed, so I won't do that, = and c) abandoning this discussion solves nothing, improves nothing, and frustra= tes immensely. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
