Hello, when i start cinnamon start normally then i see the desktop but freezes directly. But when i start cinnamon with software renderer then it works. With the normal gnome desktop this seems to be the same case. GPU: AMD Radeon RX 570 using drm-kmod from ports with FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE r369250
Hi, I also had that issue with Intel HD 5500 graphics with drm-fbsd13-kmod and modesetting driver. However, installing the (supposedly deprecated?) xf86-video-intel driver solved the problem... Not sure about your AMD graphics though :(
The issue with Intel modesetting is caused by something in the iris DRI/Gallium driver not agreeing with our graphics subsystem. xf86-video-intel is also affected if iris is used. See bug 251836. Unfortunately, not sure about the AMD graphics issue, as I don't have any AMD graphics hardware.
Created attachment 222656 [details] glx_disable_ext_buffer_age Disable buffer_age for x11/cinnamon on iris. This is a follow-up to bug 251836 that I forgot to add to the original Cinnamon update. Note that this does not fix the original issue reported, which happens on AMD graphics hardware.
Its a x11-wm/mutter issue. Because i can reproduce the problem when using mutter standalone. PR 253746 have been created for that issue. How to close this issue correctly?

(In reply to Alexander Vereeken from comment #4) > Its a x11-wm/mutter issue. Cinnamon doesn't use Mutter. Further, Muffin, which forked from Mutter, is only linked and not ran directly. Thus, fixes on Mutter will need ported here, to x11/cinnamon, as well.
