Hi, I have an ancient Lenovo T60(p?) with a radeon graphics adapter (ATI Mobility FireGL V5250) that I installed the latest build of GhostBSD (20.03, uses FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE) on. With the radeon driver (xf86-video-amdgpu-19.1.0_1), display resolution seems right, but the mouse cursor isn't visible. In /var/log/messages, I see tons of "error: [drm:pid2974:radeon_crtc_cursor_move] *ERROR* radeon_crtc_cursor_move: x(-1) < 0" messages (w/o newline, in case that matters). I installed drm-fbsd12.0-kmod-4.16.g20200221, which did the trick once (but that installation had to be removed after an update that caused a kernel crash at boot); this time round, it doesn't seem to be working, so this may be a necessary but not sufficient element. from rc.conf: kld_list="linux linux64 cuse /boot/modules/radeonkms.ko" I've done quite a bit of searching, so far w/o success ... Does anyone have suggestions for me how to get the cursor back? I'd really like to stick to BSD (ZFS alone is worth the effort, and if I get boot environments sorted out too, so much the better!) ...
