Pipewire doesn't suck and is 100% compatible with pulseaudio (at least on Linux), so yeah that's the goal. To have something that doesn't suck and isn't a load of work to maintain.
Has anyone made the switch to pipewire-pulse and removed pulseaudio completely? If so, how did you do it? I've never managed to figure out the mechanism for triggering these services on FreeBSD, and everything written about either of them assume they are managed by systemd. I tried just...
No I did not try a release version much because, as I said in my original message, the GPU doesn’t work there, so no display.
The instant earsplitting feedback was definitely present on release, that’s all I can say.
What is the state of audio on 14-current? I've got a couple of sound devices, but no luck. I get the impression audio had a bit of an overhaul in 14 - can't remember where I read that.
The first is 'CA0132 Sound Core3D [Sound Blaster Recon3D / Z-Series / Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus]' which snd_hda...
I eventually got it working. I have a Navi 23 (aka 6600XT aka DIMGREY CAVEFISH) and it does work with sway on 14-CURRENT with drm-515-kmod:
markspc kernel: [drm] initializing kernel modesetting (DIMGREY_CAVEFISH 0x1002:0x73FF 0x1458:0x2338 0xC1).
The port installs jars to /usr/local/share/java/classes/jna.jar and /usr/local/share/java/classes/jna-platform.jar (I am the maintainer). I have only recently taken on maintaining it, so I haven't looked into why it doesn't work on armv6/v7. aarch64 is absolutely fine though as far as I know.

Just tried your helios64 image, seems to work pretty well. Did you build that off the FreeBSD source tree or is there more to it? I'm guessing you have some custom config / device trees - if so is it visible somewhere? I'm kinda curious as to how you built this.
Yeah, if I apply that patch as well, I see a device node under /dev/input when attaching a USB mouse. My keyboard (atkbd0) and touchpad (psm0) don't seem to do anything though. Understand it's early days - it's interesting to play with this stuff though.
Tried that, I've patched it into my 11.0-RC3 kernel and it applied cleanly (I guess we haven't diverged much yet). Everything boots alright but I was expecting to see something in /dev/input though, so far nothing. Maybe it's just not going to work on 11.0-RC3
I've been trying out FreeBSD 11-BETA1 on my Thinkpad X1 Carbon (1st gen) IvyBridge, and it seems to work pretty well. I have power management and suspend (unless I load tpm.ko), the wifi all works and accelerated graphics seem pretty good.
I'm pretty impressed.
I would like to make use of the 64bit Linux emulation by installing the _64 versions of the Linux ports. However, this seems to break the nspluginwrapper which supports the flash plugin. Why was the decision taken to make 64bit and 32bit Linux ports mutually exclusive? It's certainly possible to...
I never really bought that explanation, as during an upgrade I took the disks from an i7 920 system (~5 years old, relatively slow) and transplanted them into a Skylake system and that was the first time I hit this issue. The old system booted about the same speed ZFS or no ZFS but the newer...
Are you using UEFI or legacy? There's a problem with the bootloader on legacy with ZFS that causes very slow boot until the kernel takes over. It's not a problem with UEFI.
