xorg.log and part of /var/log/messages

My system is FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE (amd640), new installed on the new hard drive.
Computer is iMac with Radeom 4850 graphics card, the boot is UEFI and everything works except graphics card problem.
When I kldload /boot/modules/radeonkms.ko I got black screen and computer is still responsive.
I try also to boot computer with  hw.syscons.disable=1 in /boot/loader.conf and in /etc/rc.conf I have kldload /boot/modules/radeonkms.ko
and again black screen.
I have installed drm-legacy-kmod and xf86-video-ati-legacy but I tried also with new ati driver and drm for 12 and the same result.
On the old system when I use ati driver version 7.9 and kldload radeon.ko from kernel worked without problem. On the old system the new ATI driver didn't work and none of the drm-kmod didn't work too.
Now I am using scfb driver and it works.
I do not know if is a bug in the drivers or something else.

Thank you.

Please check attached logs.

I did try to run FreeBSD 11.2 on the borrowed dock station and it boot (slow but...) and everything was O.K. - no black screen when switched to fb. I did also "startx" and open Openbox.
The difference from the new system is that on the old drive I had freebsd-boot and uefi partitions but on the new one I have just uefi.

The black screen, this only happens when Xorg is running?

I think this happened to me after upgrading a 12-STABLE system from r354521 to r357245.  However, my system is unresponsive at this point.

Rebuilding the modules did not help until I upgraded the poudriere jail from 12.1-STABLE (maybe r354521?) to r357245.  Some KBI changed between the two revisions?

It happened without Xorg at the moment radeonkms.ko was loaded.

Is this still an issue? Does it work with drm-fbsd12.0-kmod on FreeBSD 12.1?
Comment 6 lumiwa 2020-07-11 22:00:08 UTC
(In reply to Niclas Zeising from comment #5)
On my FreeBSD.1-RELEASEp7 is still the same. I am using scfb driver still and on the last updates (qt5, mesa...) I cannot use anymore FreeCAD and Blender.
I did try all new kmod and ati driver.

The black screen happens when kldload /boot/modules/radeonkms.ko in console. I start X with startx.
Comment 8 Niclas Zeising freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-09-17 10:10:37 UTC
Is this still relevant?
Comment 9 Sean Farley freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-09-18 20:56:34 UTC
I am having no issues with my 12.2-STABLE system and the listed packages.  The screen changes (font and size) when the driver is loaded.  However, I have a non-EFI system.
VT: Replacing driver "vga" with new "fb".

lumiwa, from what I have read, the black screen is expected with EFI boot and disabling syscons.  At least, it is black until X starts.  Is X working or does the screen stay black even after the X server starts?

(In reply to Sean Farley from comment #9)

I have EFI system and the screen stay black. The last when works was on FreeBSD 11.2 or 1 (I forgot) and than never again. And never worked witk kmod just witk kernel divers. I gave up but I do not want to buy the new computer either.

Closing, if this is still happening with up to date packages please re-open.
