I think drm-kmod is preferred, and xf86-video-amdgpu is deprecated. No, this is completely wrong. Only really ancient drivers made the X server deal with the GPU directly. xf86-video-amdgpu is very similar to the builtin 'modesetting' DDX, but it has some slight improvements (more attempts at dealing with screen tearing). _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-x11 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
