To keep this brief, in point form this is what I've done:
In May 2018
I've tried creating the file /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf as follows:
This, however, results in a "no screens found" error, and of course X aborts. Other possibly useful info:

Can anyone help me solve this?
In May 2018
- installed FreeBSD 11.1 (no problems)
- installed X (no problems) and fluxbox (no problems)
- I did not need to run
Xorg -configure
startx
(no problems, with resolution automatically set to 1920x1080)
- freebsd-update(8) (11.1 -> 11.2, no problems)
- reboot,
startx
(no problems) - update installed software (including X)
startx
(blank screen)
I've tried creating the file /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf as follows:
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "AMD"
Driver "amdgpu"
EndSection
This, however, results in a "no screens found" error, and of course X aborts. Other possibly useful info:

Code:
% pciconf -lv | grep -A 4 vga

Code:
% xrandr

xrandr
is bogus, given that the monitor can run at 1920x1080, which is the resolution I had before the upgrade. (Aside: does xrandr
report info from the monitor, or from the driver?)Can anyone help me solve this?
