Fw: FreeBSD 12-1 installed anew on my end-of-life home-server

The result of yesterday's effort was a hardware-accelerated VESA screen:

and this is probably where one should leave it at, because figuring out a
feasible good configuration for amdgpu driver will require some additional
research.

So far the whole installation-process took me about 4 -5 hours.

Debian does not give any hints on how to configure modes and screens for
amdgpu:

This is seemingly the default config-stub in linux, while everything else is
auto-configured or auto-probed respectively.

[radeon] driver is used on my linux desktop-frontend, because it is a
slightly seasoned PC already.

Gold, excellent!

but the criticism is really, that attachments get stripped, and as far as I

can see, the amdgpu - ports twist of wickedness is not properly documented, I

found out only upon cracking my head over this for several hours, didn't I?

And luckily I remembered.

Graphics basically workable already, but software-rasterized, not
hardware accelerated.

xorg had to be set up separately, and then I remember again, that AMD
drivers respective firmware had to be compiled from ports-collection, so
graphics become in fact hardware-accelerated, looking forward to it.
