Hi, I just installed a new Asus A68HM motherboard with an AMD A6-6400 processor. The board has onboard ATI Radeon 8470 graphics adapter chip. I installed a fresh copy of FreeBSD 10.3 amd64, with great hopes that everything would work out of the box. It did not. The graphics output under Gnome is skewed - half the text of Applications menu list is missing and strange streaks appear at a few places on the screen. To check whether there was any RAM problem, I ran a couple of passes under memtest86 with no errors. There are no page fault reports at boot-time either. I then installed OpenSuse 42.1 leap, where the graphics output is normal. But I want to move back to FreeBSD - that is the only thing I like. Can someone please help me try to get normal graphics with the new board and CPU ? If it is not possible under 10.3, I can wait for a fresh release like 11.0. But I must get things working normally under FreeBSD, else all of my money would have been wasted. Thanks for any help. Manish Jainhelp
