https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D255040 --- Comment #7 from jdrch <judahrichardson@gmail.com> --- > ranting about it to the volunteers trying to help you accomplishes nothin= g. The fact that 13.0 was marked RELEASE without stuff like this being checked for, or that the FreeBSD project thinks routinely building drivers from sou= rce is something 2021 users have any interest in (this isn't Berkeley in 1987) tells me even attempting to contribute wouldn't make a difference. Poor DE functionality is literally part of FreeBSD's culture at this point. Nearly half the respondents to a poll on the FreeBSD forums showed the community has no interest in proper DE support: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/freebsd-kommunity-edition.78594/ I've seen project after project that tried to solve this issue fail due to upstream stonewalling within the FreeBSD project itself: PC-BSD, TrueOS, Project Trident, FuryBSD, the list goes on and on. Ergo, the notion that "if you contributed you could make a difference" is simply misleading. Many have tried and failed. Unless FreeBSD's core develo= pers take the workstation use case seriously and treat it as a 1st class citizen= on par with what (e.g.) Debian does, this problem will always repeat itself no matter what I do. > What is in your dmesg when you boot? Could you kindly remind me how to retrieve this? I haven't had to do it in a while. > You need to update the GPU driver for FreeBSD 13 before you can get any g= raphical environment going. The error I posted originally is the result of me downloading the latest non-DRM driver (the DRM driver does not support my Core 2nd Gen iGPU.) > Have you updated your packages/ports before after updating to FreeBSD 13.= 0-RELEASE? Yes, I did. > There has been a lot of changes in the drm driver between FreeBSD 12 and = 13, we are jumping from 4.16 to 5.4. I imagine so, but I'm using the non-DRM driver. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
