Consider yourself lucky you don't have to deal with radeon drivers! This week alone, I had two different kernel panics, one on my notebook and another on my desktop, both of which use radeon (different gpu models), and in both cases radeon was the culprit.
For the record, I think we all agree that this kind of panic is not FreeBSD's fault. Linux support for this kind of driver is more stable and advanced, but, even though I use FreeBSD both for production and personal use, its "expected" case is production server.
- petre 9y agoIsn't the radeon driver proprietary?
- floatboth 9y agoHave you tried drm-next? https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics It's an update of the graphics stack to match modern Linux. Apparently amdgpu leaks memory, but radeonkms might work fine.
