I am finally able to actually use a BSD Operating System (in this case it's TrueOS, formerly known as PC-BSD, and based on FreeBSD), as one of them finally supports the amdgpu driver (I need it for my Fury X). However when I try to load the driver using kldload amdgpu
, my monitor tells me that it has now signal and I cannot really do anything about it. Am I supposed to load the driver differently perhaps (maybe at startup)? Also, if the driver isn't loaded, what is actually being used to render X? Is it just software rendering?
Do you have a shell or something else?
This thread shows you how to add it to boot order and the module needs to be in boot/modules/ as well.
They have a channel on gitter.im. If you're having issues they'd like to hear about it. The amd stuff ls bleeding edge. The installer image from 12-27 has an option for the new AMD stuff, and should configure it automatically if it works.
The module doesn't seem to be in /boot/modules but there are a lot of amdgpu files in /boot/kernel/
Also @jakenheimer that's what I used but it didn't work. I'll check out the gitter.im channel though
