https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D221978 --- Comment #6 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> --- Ah, just found this proposed Linux change: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-fbdev/patch/BLU437-SMTP246338AFF= A84224C9B222DC32B0@phx.gbl/ "Hisilicon graphic driver: add fbdev support to hisilicon hi1710 graphic ch= ip" As far as I can tell it was not merged into Linux though. It would be great= if someone can test a Linux distro on this hardware with a fbdev console. The existence of this patch suggests to me that the hi1710 is in fact not f= ully VGA compatible. The most likely path forward here is to add a quirks table = for broken hardware, and default to hw.vga.textmode=3D1 here. It is also possible that Huawei could provide that proposed driver under a copyfree license and then someone could add it as a FreeBSD framebuffer dev= ice. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
