[Bug 258252] FreeBSD 13.0 xorg installation does not run on pure UEFI system.

Hi Niclas,

of course I have tried. In fact it may not be obvious from my discovery email,
but I've tried:

- load amd radeon drm kernel module (this disables console for some time) and
then start xserver -- works well

- configure recommended /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-scfb.conf with
recommended content and then xserver works well too.

So what this issue is about is:

- *if* handbook is ultimate user reference, then it's outdated since issue of
UEFI+AMD conflict is not mentioned there (on X11 related page(s)).

- simple "pkg install xorg; startx" is not working by default on UEFI+AMD. You
need to do quite some googling around, avoid misleading handbook info and find
out the right information how and what to do.

Fortunately when https://github.com/freebsd/drm-kmod/issues/60 fix propagates
to release, it will solve the issue. I've not had a chance to test it yet
though.

Thanks!
