Deprecated Video Driver

[CreativeGPX]

When I'm updating my ports with Portmaster I get the message that x11-drivers/xf86-video-radeonhd is deprecated and, "If you are sure you can build it, remove the DEPRECATED line in the Makefile and try again." What should I do here?

What is the best driver I can get for my Radeon HD 5700 Series card? Any information I can find on the matter is from many years ago so I am wondering what the progress on this is?

radeonhd is an old driver that should not be used any more. x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati has a radeon driver that will support that card. See Installing KMS Ports.

Alright, it looks like I have both installed on my system already. (FreeBSD 10 fresh installed a week ago) Is there a way to tell which one the system is using?

I went to the link you provided and followed the instructions there. Editing /etc/make.conf and then executing the Portmaster command it provided:

portmaster graphics/libdrm graphics/dri x11-servers/xorg-server \
    x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard \
    x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati graphics/libGL

Sorry, I just posted a response to the same problem in another thread. When you're upgrading X at the same time, do pkg delete -f libGL dri first. I'll update the wiki.

 

[CreativeGPX]

Great, that worked. Now that I rebooted though, the screen is cut off on the bottom and the right. Any ideas?

 

[wblock@]

Could be an overscan problem, but it's really hard to tell without knowing more about the video card, the monitor, xorg.conf, and /var/log/Xorg.0.log. But this is a new problem, so please start a new thread with an appropriate title.
