I am trying to install FreeBSD 12 on my Dell with a Radeon HD6450 card. After the installation completes, I am able to
after rebooting, the mode remains low res throughout the boot.
So, I remove the lines from loader.conf,
and reboot. This 'works', but the video change is pretty late in the boot process. A kldstat now shows 7 radeon ko's:

So, I remove the lines from loader.conf,
pkg install drm-kmod
, and add a line to /etc/rc.conf:

radeon_CAICOS_me_bin.ko
radeon_BTC_rlc_bin.ko
radeon_CAICOS_mc_bin.ko
radeon_CAICOS_smc_bin.ko
radeon_SUMO_uvd_bin.ko

works, it seems like drm-kmod isn't required and I'd rather not install stuff that isn't needed, but the kld_list bit doesn't work without drm-kmod being installed.I appreciate your suggestions.
