Does suspend/resume work? I've heard that it does on Ryzen Mobile, but more confirmations would be good. zzz worked the first time I tried it, and came back, but I only had a couple of consoles open.

Forget anything you've ever heard about actual (GPT) partitions :) Thank you for that - I’ve not used them before and still tend to think in terms of slices - it’s been a while. They do look like they’ll be a better option once I’ve got my head around them. > >> With CURRENT and drm-devel it picks up the GPU just fine (attached dmesg.boot) and I’m happy to play there, although I am no kernel hacker. I also can see the amdgpu/picasso firmware being loaded with 12.1-RELEASE and the drivers / firmware compiled and installed from FreeBSDDesktop, and I’m just now rebuilding xorg from ports to see how that goes. >> >> My question is this.
