So it DID load the correct driver? Strange...!

[louies0623]

It is normal in ghost bsd.

[probonopd]

Please retry in the latest ISO build and please post the link to the https://bsd-hardware.info/ page. Thanks!

[louies0623]

No, the bug is still there

[probonopd]

Does it work properly in NomadBSD?

If yes, then please try to find out what is the difference between NomadBSD and helloSystem. Different driver loaded? Different kernel module?

I don't have this hardware so I can only improve helloSystem if I know which change I need to make.

Thanks for your help!

[louies0623]

It can be executed, but like the other two graphics cards, it is severely slow and occasionally breaks the graphics. I don't know where to see the driver. I only know that those three graphics cards run very well on GhostBSD.

[probonopd]

Yes. Now you need to find out why it works there but not here. Once you know what is different, I can attept to fix it.

Unfortunately I can't do much without knowing what needs to be changed since I don't have the hardware.

If you can upload Hardware Probes from that machine, running

• helloSystem
• GhostBSD
• NomadBSD

that would already be very helpful. Maybe we can find out the differences by looking at these 3 Hardware Probes.

Thanks!

Nomadbsd is more stable than Live after installation.
