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.
