    amd vega and radeon series vga card driver for FreeBSD 12.1 and 12.2 tutorial for beginner[update 2020-12-16]

    OK, all is clear now. The drm-kmod in ports/pkg in 12.2-RELEASE is working now. But only after I actually enable SDDM and therefore X starts by itself. Without X being started, I get no output on my monitor. The problem becomes clear after reading the message from my Dell monitor (below). So...

    amd vega and radeon series vga card driver for FreeBSD 12.1 and 12.2 tutorial for beginner[update 2020-12-16]

    Definetely not physical issue. Strangely, and promisingly, it now works with the packages from the 12.2-RELEASE repo. But I didn't do anything silly before, I was careful and tried and checked over my steps many times. I'm guessing it's either some files were left behind from the git tree...

    amd vega and radeon series vga card driver for FreeBSD 12.1 and 12.2 tutorial for beginner[update 2020-12-16]

    I have no doubt that 13-RELEASE is working well from packages or ports, the stack is much more up to date. I've seen a few posts from various users on other threads here that our generation of Radeon cards are working on 12.2-RELEASE without using the git tree version of kmod. I used packages...

    amd vega and radeon series vga card driver for FreeBSD 12.1 and 12.2 tutorial for beginner[update 2020-12-16]

    What version of FreeBSD did you use. I tried those instructions and I got a black screen on boot. Nothing to do with Xorg, it was before I installed xorg. I'm on 12.2-RELEASE and booting via BIOS (CSM). The output of dmesg (only accessible via ssh) showed errors from drm about not being able to...

    amd vega and radeon series vga card driver for FreeBSD 12.1 and 12.2 tutorial for beginner[update 2020-12-16]

    Hi, thanks to Raffeale I managed to get my Enlightenment session to work with OpenGL + Tearfree rendering. BUT! There was a couple things wrong with the Device entry in the suggested Xorg conf file. The DRI option expects an integer, the boolean "True" will be rejected. The integer should be...

    Solved just another Nvidia config problem

    Thanks everyone here that helped me. I initially tried both kld_list="nvidia" and kld_list="nvidia-modeset" in my /etc/rc.conf. But neither worked. Eventually I tried creating an Xorg hint file in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf with the following contents: Section "Device"...

    Solved Enlightenment application menu icons missing due to efreetd crashing

    The patch should now be in the ports tree in efl 1.25.1_9. The upstream has been patched with a more robust approach of allowing the FD_SETSIZE to be set at build time with a meson build-time flag. An a nice check function that will output a meaningful error message if the fd reaches...

    Solved Enlightenment application menu icons missing due to efreetd crashing

    Done already. Amazingly somebody (I assume a member of the FreeBSD Enlightenment ports team) has already replied and has contacted the EFL developers. 256408

    Solved Enlightenment application menu icons missing due to efreetd crashing

    Hello to anybody having issues with Enlightenment menu icons missing or disappearing. When I say menu, this will most obviously be the application menu missing some or all of it's application icons. The other symptom is that a message pops up just after login, mentioning failure to connect to...

    Multimedia Keys

    I will make some bug reports soon. Just for clarity; I have all my keyboard issues resolved now. The sysutils/iichid port fixes multimedia keys not working on my two wireless (USB dongle) keyboards and it fixes my KBD8x USB-C connectivity issue. The usb quirk in /boot/loader.conf fixes the...

    Multimedia Keys

    OK, more on the modifier keys not working issue. My other USB-C keyboard works fine, the shift gives me capitals and Alt +... works. It is a custom mechanical keyboard: KBDfans KBD8x. The Velocifire TKL02WS needs a usb quirk added to /boot/loader.conf: hw.usb.quirk.0="0x062a 0x8503 0 0xffff...

    USB Keyboard not working properly (10.2)

    Thanks for this, it fixed my Velocifire TKL02WS wireless keyboard when using a USB-C cable into a USB 2.0 slot on my laptop. I was not getting any modifier keys working (Shift, Alt), so no capital letters without using CapsLock. For the sake of others, this is the line in my /boot/loader.conf...

    Multimedia Keys

    Interesting side-note to this. The iichid seems to have fixed my issue with my USB-C keyboards and FreeBSD. They work fully in Linux on the same hardware. But on FreeBSD, prior to using iichid, they would only work if plugged into the laptop before boot and direct to the laptop USB 2.0...

    Multimedia Keys

    Wow, that sounds great. Thanks for the heads up. I will take a look at it soon. I did some pretty extensive searching around for a solution about a month or two ago, and I did not find a solution for Netflix support. I'm really glad now, that I went off-topic on my previous post. May have saved...

    Multimedia Keys

    That's good to know Menelkir, I was wondering if/when this would make it into FreeBSD base. I haven't ventured into 13.0 land yet. I need to do some reading up on the new ZFS implementation yet. I feel confident with 12.x for now. Even though no dot-zero version has really let me down. Well...

    Multimedia Keys

    Thank you very much for this post. I have spent the best part of a day trying to get this working on my bedroom mediacentre PC with TV as display. My USB soundcard is connected to to my HiFi amplifier and a nice pair of speakers. I'm using audio/musicpd (mpd server) to play my music collection...

    Is there any DAC compatible with FreeBSD?

    This is good to know. I did get an album in DSD once or twice. I used some command line tool to convert the one big album file to multiple per-track FLACs. IIRC I had to use at least two tools. The first step I had to do was use the CUE files to split the DSD file into tracks. I cannot remember...

    Is there any DAC compatible with FreeBSD?

    After some further testing on my Audient iD4 (device 2 in my above post) I have made some important edits to that post. This USB soundcard does not work in full bit-perfect mode unless all your sources are the same samplerate and match the vchanrate set on the play and rec channels. I suspect...

    Is there any DAC compatible with FreeBSD?

    Just posting a list of my DACs / USB sound cards that work on FreeBSD 12.x (recently tested on 12.2-RELEASE). These all work perfectly well for audio playback, and sound really good. 1.) M-Audio Fast Track (not the Pro model) [24bit up to 48kHz) 2.) Audient iD4 [32bit up to 96kHz] 3.) iFi Zen...

    Bridge doesn't setup correctly on boot

    I have a similar issue with setting up a WiFi Access Point which bridges a wired interface with a wireless interface. The bridge doesn't come up after boot. I solved it by adding ifconfig bridge create to /etc/rc.local. That way the bridge gets created last, once the wired interface acquires...
