OK to confirm I've cleaned up, and nothing might conflict=2E Here's what I have: # pkg info | grep drm libdrm-2=2E4=2E99,1 Userspace interface to kernel Direct Renderi= ng Module services # pkg info | grep mesa mesa-dri-18=2E3=2E2_9 OpenGL hardware acceleration drivers for DRI= 2+ mesa-libs-18=2E3=2E2_4 OpenGL libraries that support GLX and EGL cl= ients Following your advice, I pkg install drm-fbsd12=2E0-kmod-4=2E16=2Eg20200221 ensure I have the module kld_listed in rc=2Econf(5)=2E Bounce the box, and it locks up with a trap 9=2E So I pkg delete drm-fbsd12=2E0-kmod-4=2E16=2Eg20200221; comment the kld_list line bounce the box=2E Try a different route; pkg install drm-kmod which results i= n drm-fbsd12=2E0-kmod: 4=2E16=2Eg20200221 drm-kmod: g20190710 bounce the box; again, trap 9=2E I'm booting efi, if that makes a difference=2E So all I seem to be able to safely load is drm-legacy-kmod=2E Which no-longer seems to be compatible with X and friends=2E I don't know how you do it=2E But thank your lucky stars=2E :) Thanks again! --Chris > -- > Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer > E-mail: rkoberman@gmail=2Ecom > PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
