Many ATI Radeon cards are compatible with FreeBSD. If you inspect after that line with | grep -A3 as an argument, the firmware loads after the error message is given. There may be firmware error messages seen from the dmesg output, when using newer cards.
#Ati tool kernel driver not loading drivers#
Don't load ATI and Intel drivers through /boot/nf. ATI and Intel drivers are capable of auto-loading, but setting them in rc.conf will prevent them from falling back to the VESA driver for the console.
Then give drm and dri permissions to the video group through /etc/les:īe sure this location is referenced through /etc/rc.conf:ĭo not load ATI, Intel or Nvidia cards by compiling their drivers into the kernel. Add your user to the video group in /etc/group. When you set these cards, permissions must be set to allow access for them. The argument to select specific driver for installation from x11-drivers/xorg-drivers is under the respective section below. If another driver is specified and configured, removing the VESA driver is optional. To automate this, edit nf, and recompile x11-drivers/xorg-drivers. Most video drivers can be selected for installation by running make config from x11-drivers/xorg-drivers.
#Ati tool kernel driver not loading software#
Different brands of video cards generally don't work well together, but with newer software or implementation of this software, this may change.Īt the time of FreeBSD 11, the VESA driver works with sc(4), and graphics cards which use KMS (ATI and Intel) need the vt(4) driver. Check the latest compatibility information before purchasing a graphics card. Here is a list of FreeBSD supported video cards.
