Then tried kldload amdgpu, and unfortunately it behaved exactly the same as previously reported. So no debugger for me. Should I be reporting this in freebsd-x11? Or some other forum? I remember there being a somewhat heated discussion about the drm kernel module not always being 100% stable, back in the Summer I believe. I suppose one further question: is anyone else successfully using the in-built graphics from a Ryzen G chip with X11? And if so, any advice on versions of things, or flags to set? Thanks again for the advice.
