I've been reading up a number of posts on getting amdgpu graphics working. I'm running 12.0. I've got amdgpu.ko and drm.ko loaded. When I boot with hw.syscons.disable=1 the console output stops. Not sure if the system is still running with its head cut off though. The keyboard still responds to CTRL-ALT-DEL.
If I unset hw.syscons.disable and try to run startxfce4 I xorg fails to start. In Xorg.log this message seems to be the most signficant.
But I also see:
I presume the framebuffer error message is because at that particular moment I am running with hw.syscons.disable unset.
pciconf shows the my device is:
I found a matrix of support devices. Vega appears on that matrix and lists the amdgpu driver as the appropriate driver.
The /dev/dri/card0 error makes me think that I missed something in the various docs and posts I've read. Any ideas?
Is there a fallback method I can use to get xorg running without the 3D acceleration?
Thanks,
Jason C. Wells

Code:
Cannot run in framebuffer mode
