Is accelerated graphics possible with i915kms on FreeBSD 13 and 14 [32-bit]?

qurier said:
I used the installation a bit. Will have to backup and reinstall FreeBSD 14 amd64. It may take some time. Will report if I get any success. But I really want to run 32-bit version for my other machine which is an Intel Atom machine.

What is the spec of the Intel Atom machine? Is it 64-bit?
 
en.wikipedia.org

Intel Atom - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

"Intel Atom is a line of IA-32 and x86-64 instruction set ultra-low-voltage processors."

So some atom cpu's are 32-bit and some of the later ones are 64-bit, and you need to check which one you have. If it's an older netbook that you have lying around it might be 32-bit. But you need to run something like "cpuid" to find out what your cpu is on that machine, or look in the bios, that might tell you what the processor is. If you have a 64-bit atom, there is no advantage to running the 32-bit freebsd on it. The 32-bit code is not somehow faster or smaller than the 64-bit version. So just find out what your atom cpu is, and choose the right install image (32 or 64 bit) to match it.

And on your continued errors trying to run glxinfo on freebsd 32-bit, I think the basic problem is that you are still running on a 32-bit build and the xorg drivers have not loaded correctly. If it was working you would see the same "crocus" output from xdriinfo that you saw when running linux. So you really need to re-install the 64-bit version of freebsd on that 64-bit machine that you have been testing on before you can get any further with this.

It is Intel Atom N2600 1.6 GHz. It runs 32-bit OSs only even though I found the specs saying it has 64-bit support. I previously tried to boot other 64-bit live images and it failed always. Tried with a Windows 7 setup USB years ago and it didn't show 64 bit install option.

But just to confirm, I tried to boot "FreeBSD-14.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img.xz" on the Intel Atom machine with no success. When I press enter from boot menu, it says after a while "CPU doesn't support long mode".

Then I tried "FreeBSD-14.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img.xz". It booted to the install screen without issues.

Interestingly, outputs from commands on the existing Linux installation say otherwise:

Not sure why that is. Maybe the vendor did something to limit it to only 32-bit.

btw I just noticed those "Not affected" lines. It sure feels good not having to worry about those vulnerabilities. A plus to have Atom cpu I guess.

Why is it not loading on 32-bit? Is it not supported?
 
According to Intel, your cpu has a 64-bit instruction set, so it's a 64-bit processor.

I wonder if the failure to boot from the 64-bit freebsd iso is a bios problem. What machine is it? Is it a netbook or SFF pc?

What version of linux are you running on it? What does "uname -a" say on linux? Cat /proc/cmdlilne?

So it does boot? If it wasn't able to boot you wouldn't get to see the boot menu. When exactly are you getting this error? I'm not too fond of pictures but in this case it would probably help identify the issue.

I understand. But Tier 2 doesn't mean it is ok to crash whenever it likes. This is abnormal for a mainstream BSD system to fail like this. This is a failure for a project. And this is old hardware. A ThinkPad, which is said to be most compatible with non-Windows systems. I haven't even tried it on Atom machine yet. Boy this is just unexpectedly bad.

It came with Windows 7 originally, which was 32-bit. Checked the BIOS settings, there isn't any settings related to 64-bit support or even No Execute / NX. It is a HP Mini 110-4100 machine with 2g of RAM. it could be that HP disabled 64-bit support.

It just shows the FreeBSD bootloader menu. When I press enter it tries to load the kernel and it fails with that message. I'll have to write the 64-bit image again to USB. Will run it and report on what it shows on screen (probably some time later).
 
Just make sure details line up: mobo manufacturer, chipset, hardware revision number, making sure the BIOS image is the correct one for your mobo/chipset, and flashing procedure. That is usually included in the manual for the mobo.

But do read the caveats on the HP forums... do they make sense?

FreeBSD should have no problem running a 64-bit OS on hardware that only has 2GB of RAM, though.

So, first do the BIOS flash, then OS install, in that order.
 
I think Charlie has found your problem, at least on the HP netbook. Personally I would give up on that machine at this point, unless you want to risk bricking it by flashing the bios. Use it for something else. There comes a point where it's cheaper / less effort to get different hardware.

OK, so going back to your thinkpad X201i; I have an X201i (along with a couple of X201's) here, and I can definitely install 64-bit freebsd 14.0 on it. I think that is the thing to try next, I am struggling to understand why you are unable to install 64-bit freebsd 14 on your thinkpad X201i. What happens if you try to do that?

What should I flash? I checked the links shared, searched around and found no HP Mini user saying that they have successfully enabled 64-bit support. Did you find anything?

What if Void Linux i686 runs fine on that Atom machine too? Should I give up on that machine still?

People have suggested to give up on ThinkPad x201i machine too on this forum, in which acceleration works with Void Linux i686 with fullscreen videos working without being slowing down. Even on FreeBSD, it can play videos (unresized) when I install mesa-classic ports I posted earlier. Don't you think it is unfair to say to give up on the hardware (ThinkPad) without fixing it? The problem is with FreeBSD side, so why not fix it? Me changing hardware will not fix it.

No. I did not say there are installation issues on 64-bit. There are other reasons which I said earlier:

Give me some time and I'll install it. But the point is, even if it works on 64-bit, the problem still remains on 32-bit. 32-bit is still not discontinued (yet) and it crashes, has serious issues on a ThinkPad. On A ThinkPad!
 
I think there's a bit of confusion here. At the risk of repeating myself, for clarity, my advice (FWIW!) at this stage is:-

1. give up on the HP atom netbook, since it only supports 32-bit CPU and has a known BIOS problem; just use that for something else

2. Install 64-bit Freebsd 14.0 on your thinkpad X201i, I have every confidence that that will work, since I have the same machine working here with that same software. This one:- FreeBSD-14.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso

For more info see https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.0R/announce/

Then if you still have some problem running that on the X201i, come back and say here.

PS Your thinkpad X201i is a 64-bit machine, there's no reason to run a 32-bit operating system on it, and I'm not at all surprised that there are driver problems when you try to do so. Just run the 64-bit o/s on it.

I tried to load amd64 image again on Atom machine.

When FreeBSD bootloader menu appears I press enter to select the first item ("Boot Installer [Enter]")

Then it shows:

Code: 
Loading kernel...
/boot/kernel/kernel text=0x... ... ...
Loading configured modules...
cannot load '/boot/entropy'
cannot load '/etc/hostid'

CPU doesn't support long mode

Hit [enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]...

Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK

My understanding is that if it was not supposed to work then it shouldn't have worked on Void Linux i686.

64-bit hardware should be backwards compatible with 32-bit OS/software as far as I know. Do you know of any reason why this should not be?

I wish I had more in depth understanding of this, but it seems FreeBSD's implementation is faulty. If intel has specifically made it impossible to run it on FreeBSD 32-bit I would understand. But FreeBSD is using Linux drivers (through LinuxKPI):

LinuxKPI is a small compatibility layer that allows Linux drivers to run in a FreeBSD environment with minor modification.... A quick look at the code reveals that the kernel programming interface (KPI) is simply a collection of Linux headers and source files that map Linux-exclusive functions to FreeBSD equivalents.... The drm-kmod package includes Linux drivers for AMD/Intel graphics and is able to compile and run smoothly on FreeBSD using LinuxKPI.
Click to expand...

So I don't know why the implementation is that bad that it can't even handle a well-known ThinkPad line machine.

The CPU, yes. The AMD64/Intel 64 instructions are extensions on the IA-32 instruction set. This type of CPU is therefor still compatible with the original IA-32 instruction set. The Itanium for example has a true IA-64 instruction set, it is NOT compatible with IA-32. The original IA-32 platform is pretty much dead now though. There's even talk of actually removing the old IA-32 instructions from the next generation of CPUs.

It appears HP more or less crippled the hardware. See Charlie_ 's post on it. They probably did this so they can sell you a non-crippled version at a higher price.

I'm testing FreeBSD 14 i386 on a ThinkPad x201i machine. This machine supports running 64-bit OSs. blackbird9's argument was that why run 32-bit when there is 64-bit support. There is logic behind the reasoning. I'd choose 64-bit OS normally too. I was testing it for using it later with Intel Atom machine. My point is that it is not working as expected. Video is not playing, if I can make it play with older mesa ports it slows down when I resize mpv window. And it crashes under default kernel. These issues are not there on Void Linux i686 Live XFCE image when I ran it on the same ThinkPad. I can play videos, resize mpv and it plays just fine. That's why I blamed FreeBSD implementation of Intel graphics drivers.

Multiple people have suggested to replace both ThinkPad and Intel Atom machine from time to time. But it won't solve the issue.

You can't make any conclusion at all about a HP i386 aka i686 laptop from what happens on a Lenovo amd64 laptop. None.

Different CPU generation, BIOS, support hardware, everthing.

Similarly, comparison between different OSes are not useful here. Perhaps your best bet is to use void Linux instead, we don't beg you to use FreeBSD but will help where we can, if you'll try what's suggested.

The HP machine with i386 is a different matter, for separate determination. Maybe void Linux would be a superior solution there, and skill with multiple OSes never hurts.

For a Thinkpad known to work with 14.0 amd64, the next step's surely obvious ...

I had to test Void Linux i686 because people were saying that ThinkPad x201i is old hardware, graphics acceleration will not work, and to replace it. Then it worked ok on Void. I wonder where are they now. Comparison was necessary here. And FreeBSD uses Linux drivers through LinuxKPI, so shouldn't it be relevant?

It seems FreeBSD is at fault here. If Intel drivers has imposed limitations, I'd understand. If you have any reason to believe this please share the information because I couldn't find any limitation imposed by Intel that it can't work on FreeBSD 32 bit.

I tried FreeBSD 14 64-bit on ThinkPad x201i machine and graphics acceleration is working. I didn't even need to install xf86-video-intel. I even uninstalled drm-kmod, drm-515-kmod and installed drm-510-kmod, rebooted. It worked with it too. Fullscreen video doesn't slow down and plays as normal.

I said the above in the first post. Thankfully I found a FreeBSD 12.4 32-bit install. Graphics acceleration used to work on ThinkPad x201i with FreeBSD 12 32-bit. But it is not on 32-bit 13 and 14.

I had to test Void Linux i686 because people were saying that ThinkPad x201i is old hardware, graphics acceleration will not work, and to replace it. Then it worked ok on Void. I wonder where are they now. Comparison was necessary here. And FreeBSD uses Linux drivers through LinuxKPI, so shouldn't it be relevant?

I'm here.
Hardware Graphics acceleration for decoding and watching video will not work as your video card doesn't have hardware capabilities to decode VC,1VP9,AV1 codecs. It's all done on your CPU which can't keep up with 720p or 1080p.

If you want to see it by yourself install multimedia/vdpauinfo pkg install vdpauinfo and run it. in terminal then post back here the output of "Decoder capabilities:" section for all video codecs.

The only think that you can use on it is OpenGL for GL_Renderer you can check the capabilities via glinfo or glxinfo and drm_info
