https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D247441 Alexey Dokuchaev <danfe@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |danfe@FreeBSD.org Status|New |Open --- Comment #11 from Alexey Dokuchaev <danfe@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Niclas Zeising from comment #9) > As long as you are running unsupported FreeBSD versions, there is not much > I can do. FreeBSD 11.4-PRERELEASE is not a supported version. And what exactly had changed in between 11.4-PRERELEASE and 11.4-RELEASE graphics-wise? It always saddens me to see these "ah, you're running prerelease version" or "sorry, support for version X.Y had ended yesterday, please update to newer version" phrases, like it would make a difference (p= ro tip: no, it won't). > I suggest you either run FreeBSD 11.4 or better yet 12.1, both are suppor= ted. Unless we're talking about some specific changes, simply switching to 11.4 = or 12.1 would most likely not magically make things better all of sudden.=20 radeon(4) cards, which used to work before, are currently broken in FreeBSD, and that raises two questions: 1) what had caused the breakage, and 2) how = to fix it. AFAIK, there are no answers for both of them ATM. > I don't know why your GPU hangs, however, there has been a lot of develop= ment > both in the FreeBSD base system as well as the various ports that is the > graphics stack. Tests I've done couple of months ago, trying various combinations of FreeBSD 13-CURRENT base and different drm-kmod drivers did not show any improvement= s; that is, I was not able to get back the experience of ca. 2017-2018 where radeon(4) cards have been working fine on FreeBSD. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
