Hi,
I am using FreeBSD 11.0 Release amd64. My box has a 128 GB
Transcend SSD and onboard Radeon HD 8370D graphics.
I installed Xorg. Everything looks fine - there is no error message
anywhere. Then I issued :
kldload radeon
Xorg -configure
The above creates xorg.conf.new with radeon as the driver. So far, so
good. There is no error message on ttyv0 yet, or at any time later too.
But when I give the command the command :
X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
I get a totally blank screen. What could be wrong ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
