I’ve been trying to install FreeBSD on this laptop (for which there has been two threads made by someone else, but I’m making a separate thread due to the 15.0-RELEASE) and have been unsuccessful in getting the amdpgu drivers to work for the discrete gpu, as well as the laptop keyboard not working while in userland (which has apparently been in a previous problem.)
Interestingly, the driver does work perfectly with the iGPU of the laptop (which is a 680m, also listed on the supported graphics matrix for AMD) so as far as I’m concerned there aren’t any fundamental issues going on
Here is a quick hw-probe. graphics drivers were set up by using the drm-kmod package as instructed in the handbook, other methods (such as installing drm-latest-kmod) have not worked for me.
In addition, I’d like to mention that keyboard issues for this specific model were present in the Linux kernel, and have been fixed through a bug report since ~v6.5 . I’m not sure how applicable Linux bug fixes are to the FreeBSD kernel but it may offer some sort of insight.
Thank you in advance.
