Since amdgpu only gave me software rendering (see this thread) on my main workstation which has a Sapphire Radeon R7 240 4G DDR3 graphics card, I thought I should try radonkms and see if that was better.
running FreeBSD 14.4
and with these relevant packages
so I switched to radeonkms and rebooted. And now I have hw rendering
which is good.
But - all is not well. From /var/log/messages:
and firefox crashes with graphics related "out of memory" messages (on std output if I run it from a shell) unless I run it in safe mode. And safe mode means no extensions, so I can't do that.
So now I have to replace the graphics card with one that has fans on it....
