Hi,
We have a Supermicro X11SSH-F motherboard which has a ASPEED AST2400 =
video chipset with FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE r341666 GENERIC amd64 on it.
Unfortunately I am unable to get X working with it properly, I have the =
xf86-video-ast package (version 1.1.5_2) installed, however X seems to =
hang when started.

If I switch to the VESA driver (ie run X -configure, then change ast to =
vesa) it works but is *quite* slow.

I have exactly this motherboard running a FreeBSD 11 kernel (but with =
FreeBSD 9 user land for reasons) and X works quite well there.

I've tried using syscons instead of vt but it still doesn't work =
properly.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.
