https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D247441 --- 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. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
