https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235550 --- Comment #5 from Niclas Zeising <zeising@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Friedrich Volkmann from comment #4) drm-legacy, which is the base version (and also in ports for now, since the base version has been removed in FreeBSD 13) is quite old, and lacks support for newer GPUs. It completely lacks support for amdgpu based graphics cards, and support for intel GPUs end around the Haswell generation. This driver is not updated, and barely maintained (only bugfixes and so on) The new drm-kmod (drm-fbsd11.2-kmod, drm-fbsd12.0-kmod, drm-current-kmod) are based on the Linux GPU drivers, and are using the linux KPI translation layer in FreeBSD. This makes them much easier to keep up to date. A lot has happened, and these drivers are much more up to date, and actively maintained, so I suggest you update to try them. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
