Sound like you are not using newcons https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons With the kernel mode setting drivers , and a few others , this is a known issue . Rebuild your kernel and give it a shot . It's not with out issues . I have a Hudson apu and the embedded Radeon doesn't like the kms code in FreeBSD or Linux 3.8 . It does however work in OpenBSD 5.5 . I have not examined it closely to see why as Free and Open use similar code derived from Linux 3.8.x . > This seems to be the current state with this video card > and 10-stable - according to > wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics/WITH_NEW_XORG > -the window/system seems to freeze, but I can blindly type commands. > > Since my card is RV610 and I am on 10-stable and using X.Org 1.12, > it does not look like vt-switching is available to me.
