This issue, and the one it links to, go a bit towards describing the issue: https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/kms-drm/issues/127 I have to use the workaround as well, which isn't ideal to be honest, but i just think due to the other higher priority tasks it hasn't been addressed yet. > > Does the new hardware in this new build also work well in FreeBSD 12 > stable branch?

I run both CURRENT and 12.0-RELEASE on Ryzen with amdgpu graphics and they work fine. I actually use AWS instances that have the AMD Epyc CPU installed and those work great as well - so i def feel like AMD is becoming relevant again on both desktop and servers :) -p -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org @nomadlogicLA
