https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=247441 --- Comment #20 from Scott Bennett <[email protected]> --- Another month and a half has ticked by with no response and no action. Meanwhile I have further upgraded my system to FreeBSD hellas 11.4-STABLE FreeBSD 11.4-STABLE #27 r364474: Sat Aug 22 22:59:43 CDT 2020 bennett@hellas:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/hellas amd64 and expect to update again in the next few days. I recently borrowed a laptop and installed NomadBSD onto an external USB hard drive. It seems to work well and doesn't crash, although something initially dims the screen until the screen is unreadable except in a pitch black room. To counter that, I added a "/usr/local/bin/xset -dpms standby" line to .xinitrc, so that it puts the screen into standby, at which point I can hit any key or move the trackball, which turns the screen back on at normal brightness. It does require logging in and then entering startx in the blind, but at least it is then usable. But, to get back to the topic of this ticket, I would just like to say that it would be nice to have a usable, safe graphics stack to use with FreeBSD on this tower machine. It would also be nice not to continue to be ignored w.r.t. this PR. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
