@grahamperrin please do as I currently have no AMD-GPU devices to test with. |

Today's HP EliteBook 8570pCirca 2013. UEFI boot, legacy mode disabled. Non-interactive bootFailure. Probably after boot stage one, there's no progress beyond a static 'tear' across the bottom third of the display. I forced off the computer. Interactive bootFrom memory (I didn't take notes):
– mirrored to a Philips display connected to one of the two DisplayPort ports in the dock. For basic pointing, these devices worked:
– I didn't test the touch thing in the middle of the keyboard. Postscript (notes to self): with one of the four USB ports, the drive was not recognised. Probably the rearmost left port. The adjacent port is non-functional for most purposes, I don't know whether this has an impact on the rearmost port. Until very recently I did habitually prefer this port for the Transcend mobile hard disk drive where I store VirtualBox files, because with the ports on the right the drive was prone to occasional CAM errors , which were sometimes not tolerated by OpenZFS. |

Can you boot verbose ( |

Without
– and it's possible to tell that occasionally, there's progress; the tearing changes a little. Eventually the helloSystem desktop appeared, I saved output from
For the retest of this, I waited much longer, eventually the helloSystem desktop appeared. With boot muted, the non-changing static tear is disconcerting, it's too easy to assume (wrongly) that the system has frozen. Would you like anything else, whilst the system is running? |

Really happy to see that So it seems that there is now at least some Radeon Support available :-) |

@roired can you please retest with the latest experimental 13-CURRENT based iso? Thanks. |

@grahamperrin according to https://twitter.com/Sp1l/status/1343130356808110081 you need to run https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops/HP_EliteBook_840_G2 I wonder whether running this for all devices would hurt anyone... |

Hmm. I'm not sure what the second setting would achieve. If I recall correctly – |

Incorrect. The truth:
Mode When the desktop environment appears, it's at the higher resolution of 1,600 x 900 but not controllable:
– and whilst there's mirroring to a larger, higher resolution display there's not the ability to extend the desktop (tested with For comparison, FreeBSD-CURRENT without helloSystem: https://imgur.com/H8nNjbE

I have a similar issue with my Radeon gpu and KFreeBSD 13.0. The resolution is right but xrandr can't change brightness or gamma, neither can gammy or lxqt-config-brightness. Software side or backlight hardware side, I've tried everything. |

My AMD Card is also not recognized (Live ISO), seems like the default driver was loaded:
Also whilst writing this I always get a really annoying modal warning dialog every 1-2 minutes that "/media/Volume is almost full 4 percent left" etc. - no techno bubbles please :P Also I want to have the Hello Logo as Boot Logo, how can I change that ? |

Good day,
Tried latest live ISO (2020.11.25) hello-12.2-RELEASE-9054204-amd64.iso, by means of using a USB stick. It does boot, though desktop does not scale to take the whole display. Looks like a 1280x1024 scaled up to 3440x1440, also making top bar rounded corners (not fan of that on a square display though) a big visual mess.
Available options for configuring XOrg are only Intel and Nvidia, without digging down through config files (no idea on BSD so far).
Edited(20201127): Might be related to why inside the VM does not boot to desktop. When installing GhostBSD inside the VM (Gnome Boxes), I have to select the video driver from the list in order to go Live to desktop. Only boots to desktop with VESA driver, amdgpu (of course wouldn't as Gnome Boxes uses it's own stuff) or any other won't work. Even that, I get 1024x768 as max resolution, not modifiable.
Maybe adding the video driver selection option at boot would ease this issue for testing purposes?
Regards,
RR
