AMD GPU driver has a serious bug introduced in 14.1

I am running with the same graphic hardware since 2013: Nvidia Geforce GT610.
I think Nvidia is the most stable graphic hardware to run FreeBSD on the desktop. Before this one I used a GT520 without any problem.
Even before that I used an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro without any problems but it was with XFree86. Never used ATI since because I had problem with this hardware with Xorg on FreeBSD.

What happens exactly and when? An error message? A black screen? When you run startx or before that? Your dmesg indicates a successful initialisation of the amdgpu driver, hard to guess much from that.

I can tell when the system boots that a graphics device hasn't been found, because when it is found, you see a change in how the boot-time chatter is displayed.

I then log in and run a script to start Wayland:

#!/bin/sh

export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/var/run/user/`id -u`
sway -c /home/dca/.config/sway/config

Nothing happens for a while and then I get the error message about no graphics device found (I can't tell you the error message verbatim and can't re-create it because I've already reinstalled Arch Linux).

The above script works correctly with 515 installed.

I'm curious: is soft update journaling enabled?

No.

If unsure, run tunefs -p / to check.
