no amd cpu/apu support

Open lexyclear opened this issue 10 months ago • 2 comments

It does not work out of box on amd hardware. I tried to use it on 3500U as well as in vm on it. I would only get a black terminal screen. where i could login. but then nothing else worked. the only command i could get working after that was log out and power off. Please fix.

No GUI means it didn't detect your GPU or didn't have a driver for it. Please log in at the command prompt and run sudo pciconf -lv, then copy the GPU info here.

What other commands did you try that were not working?

Just realized I never checked discussions and issues on here. 😸

The problem with AMD (which is something I want to contribute a fix to) is that device detection is somewhat incomplete, especially as there are two different sets of kernel modules for AMD (i)GPUs.

On my old Lenovo Thinkpad E535 I used the following commands to boot into the WindowServer.

$ su
$ kldload radeonkms
$ touch /var/run/windowserver

@lexyclear In your case you could try this but replace radeonkms with amdgpu. Vega should be supported, according to the FreeBSD support matrix.

Not sure why it failed, yet. I just got my Framework 13 AMD Edition earlier this week and will be doing some ravynOS testing with it this weekend.
