https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D247441 --- Comment #32 from Scott Bennett <bennett@sdf.org> --- In reply to Graham Perrin in comment #29: No, I have not tried 13.0 on my tower, nor do I plan to do so. Having actually learned from long and often hard experience, I avoid .0 releases of most software and especially operating system software. Also, I just took advantage of some free time over the holiday weekend to upgrade FreeBSD on = this system from 11.4-STABLE to 12.2-RELEASE and am still reinstalling packages = and ports, so please allow me some time to complete that process and to catch my breath a bit. :-} Once all that has been done, I will try running xorg both with and wit= hout scfb to see what happens. Quite unexpectedly, I received a hand-me-down at= the T-Day family gathering, a Radeon HD 6970 card. After I see whether upgradi= ng has made any difference in gpu-firmware-kmod's behavior or drm-kmod's behav= ior, I will replace the Radeon HD 5770 card with the Radeon HD 6970 card and then try that card both with and without scfb. My prediction regarding drm-kmod= is that there is no change that will affect the situation of a hung GPU. As f= ar as basic, console-mode support for gpu-firmware-kmod is concerned, I suspect that that will work okay, but whether it, too, will crash within 35 hours is concerned, I have no idea, but it will be an interesting set of experiments= to run. Meanwhile my system is running 12.2-RELEASE without xorg, but also wit= hout obvious problems, other than the previously described memory management problems, which, I admit, I have not had much time to explore yet, although= I have seen some evidence already that at least some are still present in the 12.2 kernel. 12.3 is due to be released in the next few days, and then I w= ill have the same problems to explore all over again. As usual, I expect to wa= it a week or two after the release for early problems to be fixed before I proce= ed with that upgrade. Adding to my projected time frame are things like overd= ue ZFS pool scrubs, pool upgrades, etc. I want to add some thanks here to Pau Amma, who so kindly posted this = PR for me last year. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
