Dear specialists,

I've been the one who didn't let Xorg -configure happen successfully on
current. I tried a lot on freeBSD/TrueOS based distributions and beeing
kept at GhostBSD. There the sfcb-driver works and with mode=3 I can get
full 1920x1080 now - but Xrender means no desktop cube, lines and less
openGL making great lines into the desktop. OpenGL 20/31 does for 20
mins, then kwin_x11 let shine all windows with black entry, so you have
to restart. Other WM produce didn't work. So, after Alt+F2 'kstart5
plasmashell' desktop is fully compatible - so never give up on X
matters, AMDGPU and radeon don't work as a firmware bug and coulnd't be
initialized - not on FreeBSD nor on GhostBSD or whatever. But
modesetting is a way to have at least base grafical function. 

Now to the question: the latest development release of GhostBSD is 12.1;
I svn up'd the freeBSD sources as the kernel boots quickly and is 100%
freeBSD IMO - until openRC starts. We have a networkmgr, btw? Wow! And
the Software Center grafically without the Arch octopi-clone? Wow again!
Let's see what Solaris means after 2010 to me and there's a
hackintosh-project, that runs clearly from virtualization but has
physical boot-up-problems. But to BSD: the sources '/base/head' should
be compatible but is there a+++meta package with kernel build tools and
a makeworld that is bootable? What do I need? clang, gcc, cc, sed and
what else? There'd to be a meta-package for kernel development!

Please don't fool me because of a non-distro question but it matters
freeBSD on the base, too.  And if I just can improve the running 12.1.
to CURRENT GENERIC it would be a superb effect for many of us! Thx for
answers in advance.


Miranda

PS: my ubt0 makes progress, although not beeing able to connect; but at
least the whole stuff doesn't kill itself anymore.
