BSD is not lilke linux to be just plug and play and to work. there you must load every single driver into /etc/rc.conf.

"Other devices, such as watchdog, i2c and bus should be merged from NetBSD."

I'm currently on FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE, installed with MBR. I want to install Devuan alongside with FreeBSD.
My question is
1. Will GRUB recognize FreeBSD?
2. If yes, do i need extra steps to make grub detect freebsd?

I did that but with refind (https://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/) instead of grub and it worked fine

I guess so. And if you're using ZFS in FreeBSD then GRUB may give you some trouble

one question tho. with xorg i use xf86 video package instead of the one profided by the kmod package. is tht a bad thing? because this fixed the delays i ve had in past using BSD

The kmod package provides hardware acceleration and the xf86 not, or limited iirc

drm-kmod drivers have better performance and quality of service. and supports more recent GPUs

so, in short. the amdgpu is loaded into rc.conf. but i ve made a separate config file in xorg.conf.f to load the xf86-video-amdgpu with tearfree. i mean i use both
Anonymous
or i dont know if i use both. i m ab confused. all i know that now everything now is butter smooth

you can't use both, since the xorg loads driver from /boot/modules and they can not be conflicted with each other.

true. you are using xf86-video-amdgpu driver. but honestly, I had better performance on drm-kmod

okay, I got now what is happening. you have enabled TearFree option. it works on both kmod and amdgpu drivers.
when you remove xf86-video-amdgpu package xorg does not start. right? this is because the kmod has different versions on different GPUs and FreeBSD versions. are you sure that you have installed DRM correctly? and how do you figured out it is not using xf86-video-amdgpu? because this configuration you wrote is totally a common option.
or maybe I am wrong. 🤷♂
because xorg would start if xf86 package is not installed

and the amdgpu driver is just raven package from gru-firmware-package
