I have a radeon graphics card, too. Recently, I had a problem with the
graphics/drm-kmod hanging on boot in multi-user. My fix was to switch
to graphics/drm-legacy-kmod, which at least lets the system boot again.
I figure the newer graphics/drm-kmod no longer supports my old radeon
card.
So, I was about to post about this, and then saw this thread. I too ave
had to go back to the legacy-kmod because something broke it in the last
couple of weeks. Was using the new one fine until then. Unfortunately I
didnt know it was broken as have been working remotely and thus not in
front of the machine. But I doubt that the Radeon stopped being supported
soehow - that would be mentioned somewhere surely ? It looks like a hang
on loading the module to me.
As of yesterday, the graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod port is working for me[1].
This is good news because a) the video quality is better, and, b) it
supports colour, which graphics/drm-legacy-kmod didn't seem to. (So now I
get a green status bar again in tmux.)
In other words, it may be that whatever broke in graphics/drm-kmod has now
been fixed?
Cheers,
Paul.
