AMD & 13.0 Current

[Clay Daniels Jr.]

I have built me a new computer, put it together, and being impatient did
not even partition the 2TB WD HD, but just installed last weeks Current.
Worked great!
Now that I have these two to compare I will share the details and results,
particularly if you are using AMD CPR/Radeon Graphics.

The older:
Per Windows:
HP Pavilion23 All-in-one PC
Manufactured & bought 2014
AMD E2-3800 APU with Radeon Graphics
1.30GHz CPU - 4.00 GB RAM
Per either Linux or FreeBSD13:
Graphics:
Device-1: AMD Kabini [Radeon HD 8280 / R3 Series]vendor:Hewlett-Packard
driver: radeon v: kernel bus ID: 00:01.0
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.19.2 driver: ati,radeon

MSI Radeon RX 570 Video Card
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB SDRAM DDR4 3200 Memory

The good thing is they both use the same drm-kmod "amdgpu".
So I can see that a 2014 or later computer will probably use the same, and
not the legacy "radeonkms" in /etc/rc.conf.

The other thing to note, is that for 13.0 Current they both need a line in
/boot/loader.conf:
hw.syscons..disable=1

That's basically my report. I am enjoying my new machine.
