Call for testing: pkgbase support in 15.0

Is the meta package for X or for Wayland or both? Thanks

x11/kde - trying to run both

FreeBSD Handbook reference

I’ve been testing a lot of components from base system development.

Looks like I am unable to scale my machine to match the specs on my monitor’s resolution.

I’m dumping drm and modesetting logs to check how my settings are resolving at desktop environment runtime from the command line
sh: 
bat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i modes > gpu_driver_logs.txt

bat gpu_driver_logs.txt

bat(1) is awesome at the command line
 
Hey everyone I have an update on pkgbase development.

KDE Plasma Desktop version 6.4.5.25.08.1

I can confirm my Dell Precision mobile workstation has to be manually programmed to map its GPU and required GPU drivers correctly to:

1. Detect applicable gpu devices including required gpu drivers, firmware, and kernel modules.
2. Scale correctly to screen’s resolution without a black screen.
3. Launch KDE Plasma Desktop directly from the terminal.

It’s a frame buffering issue that causes segmentation violations.

So I am running the Wayland compositor with the traditional X11 backend. I have been able to reproduce this bug consistently so far but most importantly how to map out my gpu correctly. My settings are set at

sh: 
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

To reproduce a programmable solution to confirm my machine is working correctly I manually load gpu’s from base system to test my settings

sh: 
sudo kldload i915kms # replace with your specific gpu

For future readers in the community I recommend following the handbook and official community resources if you are unsure.
