liveCD sets resolution correctly, but still on "scfb" driver

freeBSD 12.0 stable & hardenedBSD 12.0 stable do just fine with the drm-kmod pkg.

Code: Select all

pciconf -lv | grep -B 4 VGA

LENOVO G50-45 , CPU AMD A6-6310 APU with AMD Radeon R4 Graphics , system memory 4096 MB
Is it possible to disable the integrated graphics controller ( Mullins Radeon R4/R5 ) & use only the discrete controller ( Sun LE [Radeon HD 8550M / R5 M230] ) ?

I can't give this output for one of my systems, since there doesn't seem to be a pkg for the required driver. I had to swap hard drives with another system in order to do the OS installation, & X11 won't even run. However, I can tell you specifically about the gpus that it's running & which driver it needs. It's running 2 GeForce GTX 760 in SLI. They require nvidia driver series 410.XX, however version 415.13 is currently in beta. I'm trying my best to install the driver from nvidia's site, but it's kind of tricky because it's crying about specifically needing the kernel sources -which I've just now realized that I can only get from the TrueOS github site. So, that's currently being cloned. Hopefully, I'll be able to run make install on the driver without running into another kernel<->driver version mismatch issue.

Looks like I was mistaken on the available nvidia driver versions.

Release - 415.27
Beta - 418.30

Vega64 (discrete) card is problematic. Well, it's that with vanilla FreeBSD as well. LiveCD works only with either Vesa or SCFB graphics. Selecting AMDGPU in installer will blank the screen and silence the fans (seems to take system completely offline in fact because not even keyboard leds blink after pushing CAPS/SCROLL/NUMLOCK).
4.16-based drm does not work in vanilla either, it's not GhostBSD-specific issue. I can get picture only with 5.0-based drm in vanilla FreeBSD, haven't even gotten up to trying Xorg neither here or in vanilla.

Found this:

Currently trying to implement it on GhostBSD install and see if I can get graphics to work. (pulling GhostBSD sources from github atm in order to compile kms-drm-drm-v5.0-fbsd12.1 ). Will update progress later.

EDIT: Compiling drm-v5 finished without errors. 'make install' went without hitch, as expected.

Loading Xorg+amdgpu failed with 'no screens found'. Even tried to define BusID - which was double-checked with "scfb" driver.
Can post error log if there's any interest. should have gone to sleep earlier, made some stupid mistakes (like trying to load radeonkms driver instead of amdgpu)

EDIT3: after reinstalling from 0, compiling-installing drm v5, adding "amdgpu" into /etc/rc.conf kld_list and replacing scfb driver with amdgpu in /etc/X11/xorg.conf graphics is functional on Vega discrete graphics card.


Users with Polaris card should get theirs working much the same way.
