Ok, But I don't understand how freebsd supports the same card as imac
Did you actually try to install FreeBSD on the machine?

Kalei
But I get a black screen

Everything works except the graphics card.
Can you share a dmesg log and a xorg log in a pastebin format? Maybe we can get some info out of there
Kalei
Sure!!

Kalei
i don’t know what i’m doing wrong

According to Wiki:
Post 11.2 use "radeonkms" kernel module via drm-kmod port

Kalei
Still need the xorg.log
Did you install xorg-ati related packages?
Yes, and I'll send it to you as soon as I can
Kalei
Radeon-kms on your rc.conf
If I put that then I can't enter the system I see a black screen

@kaleidoscopio do you have hw.syscons.disable=1 in /boot/loader.conf ?

That's not supposed to be done anymore.
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ

I wasn't aware, I keep doing it in the machines using AMD
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
We'll see if the xorg.log gives more info on the load

Okay, I'm going to do it but it will take me time

Do you know if there is any way to enter the startup by removing the drivers?

Booting in single mode
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
Lemme refresh my mind. I was there some years ago on a machine with an unsupported gpu, and somehow I managed to edit the commands before boot or in single mode

Okay, I already have the results of the driver and everything seems ok, but we still have the black screen... Any clues?

Hi guys why is Wayland seen as a negative in the *BSD sphere?

Hi guys why is Wayland seen as a negative in the *BSD sphere?
Hey :) I can't say much about it.
But some in BSD and Linux say it needs more stability. Although I prefer Wayland over X

How do you secure FreeBSD from hacker attacks?

Firewall. Setup and configure it properly.

I'm just throwing ideas out. Does the machine by any means use a hybrid gpu somehow? (One integrated in the cpu and another one dedicated)

My best guess is to try enabling intel's gpu hoping there's one and check if the screen goes black when starting xorg

Ok, lets’go

Is there any way to make a debugging at the start?
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
Is there any way to make a debugging at the start?
you can add
rc_debug="YES"
rc_info="YES"
to your rc.conf
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
And then select the boot verbose option from the boot menu (or type boot -v at the loader prompt)
Kalei
t's just that I see that it is the only solution to solve the problem.
Kalei
And i can do it with the firmware too?
Kalei
Or it loads the firmware all at once?
Kalei
Because i think the problem is the firmware V770
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
Or it loads the firmware all at once?
I guess the handbook can explain it better than me here https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/boot/#boot-introduction

Hello! how to enable brightness in xfce in Freebsd 12.4 ?
Andrey
xfce4-power-manager --dump
Andrey
Has brightness panel: False
Neville
Andrey
or xbacklight?
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
i have no this command
try man backlight(8)
backlight is the new method to control your screen light in FreeBSD, but maybe it's not in 12.4
Andrey
try man backlight(8)

yes, not in 12.4. I will update to version 13 now. Thank you

Nothing!!, The screen turns black again
