Hello, I have almost the exact same problem: my mouse is invisible, but I can still click buttons and other things. I am also on an AMD laptop (with an integrated Renoir GPU). This happens on KDE and XFCE; furthermore, Wayland compositors (specifically River) don't render anything at all. The workaround for me is to switch to a TTY (with
ctrl + alt + f[0-6]
) and then back to the graphical environment, after which everything works as it should.
There are no notable errors in my Xorg logs, but every time I do a
startx
, this interesting error pops up in
dmesg
:
Code:
drmn0: 0xfffff80263f7b800 pin failed
[drm ERROR :dm_plane_helper_prepare_fb] Failed to pin framebuffer with error -12
The hexadecimal number changes a little bit every time though.
I use packages as much as possible; however,
drm-kmod
/
drm-54-kmod
, which are the only packaged DRM kernel modules, do not work for me, so I compile
drm-510-kmod
and
gpu-firmware-amd-kmod-renoir
from ports.
I did not have this problem in FreeBSD 13.1-RC6 (before the
drm-kmod
and friends ports were
refactored).
Like OP, I do not have any Xorg configuration files. I even tried doing a fresh install of FreeBSD 13.1 and installing only the necessary software to get a graphical environment running, and the problem still persists.
I know almost nothing when it comes to this graphics stuff, so I'm not sure where to go from here...
