sucessfully?
Is it even possible? If so, what must I do?
hey chris - what happens when you load the amdgpu driver via
rc.conf? does it
load correctly, or does the system crash on boot? for example what
does "dmesg |
grep drm" look like?
Hey pete, thanks for the prompt reply!
It "flashes" but the resolution doesn't appear to change. It's booting
UEFI, if that
should matter. grep(1) output attached. It's a bit long to paste inline.
assuming it does load successfully i think you are using the wrong
xorg driver as
the xf86-ati driver is ATI not amd devices. Does loading
xf86-video-amdgpu work
better?
You're probably right. I'll give that a try.
Thanks again! :-)
no worries! i took a peek at your dmesg and i think once you install
the amdgpu xorg driver you'll be good to go. the screen flash is just
the display cutting over to the new driver and is expected.
looks like it detected both of your displays too so you window manager
should pick them up too. a bunch of work was done recently to make xorg
load up correctly without any configuration files - so you shouldn't
even need to setup an xorg.conf or anything like that :)
have fun!
