Thanks for your response and link. Apology for my ignorance about Xorg drivers vs kernel drivers -- You are saying that the cards listed on the nv(4) and radeon(4) pages do not necessarily correspond to what actually will work, but instead just correspond to code that has been written in X.org that may or may not have the accompanying kernel support in OpenBSD to function, correct?
For "radeon" for instance I see a bunch of files at /sys/dev/pci/drm/radeon -- I guess these files work in conjunction with the support in MESA/Xenocara in folders like xenocara/lib/mesa/src/gallium/drivers/radeon ? But perhaps for the nv(4) driver for instance there may or may not be actual kernel support in OpenBSD? Also if I were to plug in a card not listed on any of those lists (a late-model video card for instance), do you think graphics and multi-monitor support would work at all in general? My guess is that it would fall back to software rendering, but I don't know if there's some sort of lowest-common standard that allows the 2d graphics to work without acceleration somehow. Thanks for any input. -- Currell On Sun, Jan 28, 2018 at 6:39 PM, mazocomp <mazoc...@disroot.org> wrote: > I believe this is easy to read: https://www.openbsd.org/amd64.html > Kernel drivers != X.org drivers >
