Dear All,
I am encountering a strange problem with port graphics/drm-stable-kmod.
My system is a 11.2-STABLE amd64 with GENERIC kernel.
I upgrade the base system every week or two from source. My
/etc/make.conf lists graphics/drm-stable-kmod in PORTS_MODULES, in
order to have it recompiled with every kernel.
When I install the new kernel, run mergemaster and reboot, however,
Xorg is unable to drive the video card: something goes wrong with DRM
and he tty belonging to Xorg remains black. The other tty's work
well.
I tracked down the problem to the file /boot/kernel/radeonkms.ko
^^^^^^
If I delete that file and reboot, Xorg works fine.
My question is: why is that file there? The port
graphics/drm-stable-kmod installs its module in
/boot/modules/radeonkms.ko but the other version from /boot/kernel/
^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^
seems to be loaded instead, and therefore Xorg does not work.
Is this a bug of either installkernel, or the port? Or am I doing
anything wrong?
Thank you in advance,
