OK, making progress as it gives a new result: Starts to load Xorg server ~ [drm] radeon kernel modesetting enabled drmn0: <drmn> on vgapci0 panic: make_dev_alias_v: bad si_name (error=3D17, si_name=3Ddri/renderD128) cpuid=3D2 time=3D~ KDB: stackbacktrace ~ >db [HALTS HERE - interactive mode] I entered help, it gave me a menu, I did a reboot there... The fact I get a new result is an improvement. And I still see that "funny fuzzy thick line" during bootup, which to me is a good sign too. Like I say, I'm willing to back up and start again. I'm not going to give up on this. It has worked for manyl weeks of 13.0-Current up until r350702. I'm hooked on FreeBSD. I was intending to load the LXDE desktop. I kind of like it as it's minimal and I get to pick my own apps. But I have tried Gnome, KDE, & Xfce too. I will probably try several more desktops. But if it doesn't work with the basic Xorg page with the three Xterms & a clock, it will not load a fancy desktop. Thanks so much for your help, Graham Clay On Sun, Aug 18, 2019 at 3:59 PM Clay Daniels Jr. <clay.daniels.jr@gmail.com= > wrote: > Graham, thanks for the reply.
