Justine Smithies on Nostr: So to fix my amdgpu issue ( blank screen instead of tty ) after updating #FreeBSD on ...
So to fix my amdgpu issue ( blank screen instead of tty ) after updating #FreeBSD on my #ThinkPad P14s to 14.2-RELEASE I did the following:
Changed from quarterly to latest
Grabbed the FreeBSD source for 14.2-RELEASE
doas git clone -o freebsd -b releng/14.2
https://git.FreeBSD.org/src.git /usr/src
Then installed the ports git repo
doas git clone
https://git.FreeBSD.org/ports.git /usr/ports
As I'm running an AMD Renoir GPU I need the following to be built against the new kernel.
So change into the source directory.
cd /usr/ports/graphics/drm-61-kmod/
Then install the port and cleanup after.
doas make install clean
Then simply do a reboot and as long as you still have the amdgpu module loading in your /etc/rc.conf then all should be good.
Others might tell you differently and they possibly are right as I'm still kind of a newbie to FreeBSD. Feel free to correct me and i'll amend as applicable.
