Hi all, I have an old notebook I didn't use for some time (I think it used to work fine under 11.1 in 2018, now I'm trying to run 11.4 after some upgrading). When trying to "startx" after booting or trying to load "radeonkms", the machine crashes with something weird happening on the screen (it really slowly goes white with clouds, looks quite phychodelic ;-). The graphics identifies as "RV250/M9 GL [Mobility FireGL 9000/Radeon 9000]". I'm not sure if this is supposed to work with anything (but it did in 2018). https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics/AMD-GPU-Matrix lists "Radeon 9000" and "RV250" as supported, but I'm unsure if this is meant to include the Mobility variant above. If not, are there any other options? As mentioned, just starting X (without trying to load radeonkms in advance) crashed quite the same way... cu Gerrit _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-x11 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
