Low resolution AMD/ATI ES1000

Dear friends, after a sucess install of NomadBSD on HP Proliant DL360 G5 server I got a low resolution of 1024x768.
Any help are welcome!
Thanks in advance!


What does

% grep initgfx /etc/rc.conf
% grep Driver /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-video-initgfx.conf

say?

marcdat@NomadBSD ~> grep initgfx /etc/rc.conf
initgfx_enable=“YES”
marcdat@NomadBSD ~> grep Driver /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-video-initgfx.conf
Driver “vesa”
marcdat@NomadBSD ~>

Dear Mk1,

I just solved the problem with the following procedure >

sysrc initgfx_enable=NO

Section “Device”
Identifier “ES1000”
Driver “radeon”
BusID “PCI:1:3:0”
EndSection

I learned with you!
Thanks again and have a nice weekend my friend. :sunglasses:

Hi Mk1, how are you?

I had solved the issue of low resolution, but the problem returned, maybe I didn’t put the correct instructions.

root@NomadBSD:~ # dmesg | grep video
vgapci0: Boot video device
root@NomadBSD:~ # pciconf -lv
vgapci0@pci0:1:3:0: class=0x030000 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x1002 device=0x515e subvendor=0x103c subdevice=0x31fb
vendor = ‘Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]’
device = ‘ES1000’
class = display
subclass = VGA

root@NomadBSD:~ # grep initgfx /etc/rc.conf
initgfx_enable=“YES”
root@NomadBSD:~ # grep Driver /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-video-initgfx.conf
Driver “vesa”

initgfx, as you can see, is enabled (again), and it replaced your configuration. Just repeat the steps in your previous post.

Yes, I did this because it is no longer accepting the configuration that worked before.

Does not accept this setting >

sysrc initgfx_enable=NO

Section “Device”
Identifier “ES1000”
Driver “radeon”
BusID “PCI:1:3:0”
EndSection

In addition to that make sure to load radeonkms:

# sysrc kld_list+=" /boot/modules/radeonkms.ko"
# reboot

Nothing my friend! Please look the picture below

Thanks again!

Please post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Hello my friend!

I’m uploading the file because the number of characters is greater than what is supported.

Thanks again!

Please post your /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-video-initgfx.conf

Section “Device”
Identifier “Card0”
Driver “vesa”
BusID “PCI:1:3:0”
EndSection

That explains why I couldn’t find any error messages regarding the radeon driver.

# sysrc initgfx_enable=NO

Change /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-video-initgfx.conf to

Section "Device"
    Identifier "ES1000"
    Driver     "radeon"
    BusID      "PCI:1:3:0"
EndSection

After the reboot save /var/log/Xorg.0.log under /root/radeon.log. Post that log here, or send it to termbin.com:

# nc termbin.com 9999 < /root/radeon.log

Then post the URL here.

(EE) Failed to load /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so: Shared object "libgbm.so.1" not found, required by "radeon_drv.so"

There is probably a package dependency problem. Upgrade your packages:

# pkg upgrade

Then reboot.

Thx again!

That’s the same log. But I guess the upgrade didn’t solve the problem. Try to reinstall the ati driver:

# pkg delete xf86-video-ati
# pkg install xf86-video-ati
# reboot

Now can’t exit from this screen

Press Alt+F1 to switch to ttyv1. Or Alt+F9 (X server)
