I just installed a new Asus A68HM motherboard with an AMD A6-6400K processo= r. The board has onboard ATI Radeon 8470D graphics adapter chip. I installed a fresh copy of FreeBSD 10.3 amd64, with great hopes that every= thing would work out of the box. It did not. The graphics output under Gnom= e is skewed - half the text of Applications menu list is missing and stran= ge 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 eith= er. I then installed OpenSuse 42.1 leap, where the graphics output is normal. B= ut I want to move back to FreeBSD - that is the only thing I like. Since the Xorg distribution under FreeBSD and Linux is the same, it should = be possible for my setup to work seamlessly on FreeBSD too. Can someone hel= p me get things right ? If not now, maybe with a future release like 11.0/1= 1.1 Thanks for any help Manish Jain
