https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D247441 --- Comment #20 from Scott Bennett <bennett@sdf.org> --- Another month and a half has ticked by with no response and no action.= =20=20 Meanwhile I have further upgraded my system to FreeBSD hellas 11.4-STABLE FreeBSD 11.4-STABLE #27 r364474: Sat Aug 22 22:5= 9:43 CDT 2020 bennett@hellas:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/hellas amd64 and expect to update again in the next few days. I recently borrowed a laptop and installed NomadBSD onto an external U= SB hard drive. It seems to work well and doesn't crash, although something initially dims the screen until the screen is unreadable except in a pitch black room. To counter that, I added a "/usr/local/bin/xset -dpms standby" line = to .xinitrc, so that it puts the screen into standby, at which point I can hit= any key or move the trackball, which turns the screen back on at normal brightn= ess. It does require logging in and then entering startx in the blind, but at le= ast it is then usable. But, to get back to the topic of this ticket, I would just like to say that it would be nice to have a usable, safe graphics stack to use with Fre= eBSD on this tower machine. It would also be nice not to continue to be ignored w.r.t. this PR. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are on the CC list for the bug.=
