Hi thanks for the tips, 12.0 current from the svn head and drm-next-kmod from ports didnt load up when vt initialized on boot. Im currently looking at the vesa kmod, getting this error that im trying to work out.<br>
<br>
$ kldload vesa<br>
module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (vesa, 0x< f and numbers>, 0) error 19<br>
sysctl_unregister_oid: failed to unregister sysctl<br>

does your console load w/o attempting to load the vesa driver? if it does you might want to take a stab at using the SCFB xorg driver:<br>
<br>
xf86-video-scfb-0.0.4_5Â Â Â Â Â Â Â X.Org syscons display driver<br>
<br>
It's a software driver, which while it may be slow - but it certainly is usable for browsing, hacking and email. it is what i was using on my systems until we could get the drm-next code in a semi-usable state.<br>
<br>
i'm not %100 sure why vesa would refuse to load the as a kmod - might be worth pinging freebsd-x11@ if you get frustrated with it :)<div class="m_-8881638851209809089quoted-text"><div class="m_-8881638851209809089m_7421331664612369222elided-text"><br>
