AMDGPU Picasso on Thinkpad X395

[Cait Smith]

Hi All

I’ve been away from *BSD for a long while but I’m now throwing FreeBSD at a Lenovo Thinkpad X395

I have had wifi and X running under a recent CURRENT and I am currently rebuilding a 12.1-RELEASE (I probably should have partitioned the drive and installed both for testing) 

With CURRENT and drm-devel it picks up the GPU just fine (attached dmesg.boot) and I’m happy to play there, although I am no kernel hacker. I also can see the amdgpu/picasso firmware being loaded with 12.1-RELEASE and the drivers / firmware compiled and installed from FreeBSDDesktop, and I’m just now rebuilding xorg from ports to see how that goes. 

My question is this. What is my best course for moderate to reasonable stability and to best provide feedback (or testing)?

I’m considering following CURRENT, following STABLE with a CURRENT kernel for the drm-devel port, or 12.1 RELEASE with manually added drm-v5.0. I’m beginning to think that CURRENT is probably cleanest, though I may want to drop some of the debug and test code so that I can get some work done :)
