Dear All, I am encountering a strange problem with port graphics/drm-stable-kmod. My system is a 11.2-STABLE amd64 with GENERIC kernel. I upgrade the base system every week or two from source. My /etc/make.conf lists graphics/drm-stable-kmod in PORTS_MODULES, in order to have it recompiled with every kernel. When I install the new kernel, run mergemaster and reboot, however, Xorg is unable to drive the video card: something goes wrong with DRM and he tty belonging to Xorg remains black. The other tty's work well. I tracked down the problem to the file /boot/kernel/radeonkms.ko ^^^^^^ If I delete that file and reboot, Xorg works fine. My question is: why is that file there? The port graphics/drm-stable-kmod installs its module in /boot/modules/radeonkms.ko but the other version from /boot/kernel/ ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ seems to be loaded instead, and therefore Xorg does not work. Is this a bug of either installkernel, or the port? Or am I doing anything wrong? Thank you in advance, -- rigo http://rigo.altervista.org
