--- Comment #23 from Scott Bennett <bennett@sdf.org> ---
     Four days ago I upgraded my system to stable/11 r368269 and then rebui=
lt
and reinstalled gpu-firmware-kmod and drm-fbsd11.2-kmod.  I then rebooted,
logged in, rebuilt and installed windowmaker, and then entered "startx".  T=
he
screen went black, and about 11 seconds later the system did a hard BIOS re=
set.
Apparently, there is no longer *any* support for a Radeon HD 5770, even tho=
ugh
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 be=
en
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 y=
et
been reported upstream?  Pau Amma kindly first filed this PR on my behalf s=
ix
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 usefu=
l,
making that a very poor investment of scarce resources.
