I am not quite sure if this belongs to the System Hardware or the Peripheral Hardware section. But I think more of the hardware (by weight) this post is about is outside of the case. So I put it in the Peripheral Hardware section. So, this is the hardware I am talking about:
I would like to install FreeBSD on this machine, currently I am running gentoo. As you can see, my 4 panels are in portrait mode. This works great with recent radeon drivers on x.org, so I think this will work with FreeBSD, too?
I am also using full disk encryption (which will be GELI in FreeBSD) and I need to input a password at boot. In Linux, there is a framebuffer driver for the radeon cards. It allows to use the screens in full resolution, while X11 is not started. It even rotates the screen. I searched the internet for a FreeBSD solution, but there did not seem to be something like this in FreeBSD. Can I rotate the console in FreeBSD somehow?
