https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=247441 --- Comment #23 from Scott Bennett <bennett@sdf.org> --- Four days ago I upgraded my system to stable/11 r368269 and then rebuilt and reinstalled gpu-firmware-kmod and drm-fbsd11.2-kmod. I then rebooted, logged in, rebuilt and installed windowmaker, and then entered "startx". The screen went black, and about 11 seconds later the system did a hard BIOS reset. Apparently, there is no longer *any* support for a Radeon HD 5770, even though older cards *are* supported, at least according to other posters on this and other lists. The following messages appear in /var/log/messages immediately before the beginning of the messages from the reboot. Dec 17 13:15:45 hellas kernel: drmn0: ring 0 stalled for more than 10498msec Dec 17 13:15:45 hellas kernel: drmn0: GPU lockup (current fence id 0x0000000000000008 last fence id 0x000000000000002b on ring 0) Thus it is clear that neither the firmware bug nor the DRM bug has been corrected in more recent versions of those modules. Doesn't the x11 team report firmware bugs to AMD? Doesn't the x11 team report DRM bugs upstream to whoever is developing/maintaining X11 for LINUX or for whatever? If so in either case, does any response come back to the x11 team? Has either bug yet been reported upstream? Pau Amma kindly first filed this PR on my behalf six months ago, and I have seen no sign of any resolution, except for mantras to spend lots of money. As far as I can tell, spending on another GPU is not the answer. A new GPU is likely not to be supported yet or become unsupported within four or five years, leaving a very narrow window during which it would actually be useful, making that a very poor investment of scarce resources. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
