That's just the wake-up I needed! I went back to the last section of the wiki on graphics referred to above and re-read it. For some reason, I was under the impression that loading the radeon firmware in the method described in that section was only if I wanted/needed kms to be loaded early; I assumed it would be loaded later in the boot process on its own, though. I was wrong. After issuing a #<kldload radeonkms> as you suggested, the fb graphical resolution loaded. Then, taking wblock@'s advice (elsewhere) that Xorg -config is now generally unnecessary, just issued a <startx> and things were working properly. A little xrandr action and both monitors are working as desired. For the record, if anyone else is having this radeon issue, here is a summary specific to the 5450 card (note some of this may be unnecessary, I haven't tested each yet): In loader.conf kern.vty=vt radeonkmsfw_CEDAR_pfp_load="YES" radeonkmsfw_CEDAR_me_load="YES" radeonkmsfw_CEDAR_rlc_load="YES" radeonkms_load="YES" In make.conf: WITH_NEW_XORG=YES WITH_KMS=YES OPTIONS_SET=GALLIUM (or WITH_GALLIUM=YES, but the compiler will warn on this when building dri) Thanks again for all your help, Jan. -- Dutch Ingraham <stoa@gmx.us>
