Hi, all and Cy.

I trimmed most of old posts.

Don't worry.
You are still talking in the unit of years.
I still occasionally use a laptop from the last century. :)
Jokes aside, I have 2 questions.

I have a 12.0-RELEASE base system and 12.0 pkg configuration.
Looking back my operational log, pkg install was like this.

# pkg install drm-kmod
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
The following 3 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

New packages to be INSTALLED:
        drm-kmod: g20180930
        drm-legacy-kmod: g20181031_1
        gpu-firmware-kmod: g20180825

Question #1:
drm-current-kmod was mentioned in your reply.  Have I installed wrong kmod?


I do not setup X to come up as a part of boot process.  So, I login via console and may stay there or decide to startx depending on what I want to do.  I can see the driver switching and my kld_list="/boot/modules/radeonkms.ko" loads these modules as expected.

On the other hand, I still see the following in dmesg.

drmn0: =======================================================

                525 drmn/drm_iic_dp_aux
                526 drmn

Question #2.
Am I loading the right driver set?

Regards,
Hiro
