graphics driver

Post by Scott »

Does Ghostbsd use the radeon or amdgpu driver by default. If it's radeon how do I switch it?

Running env vblank_mode=0 glxgears only produces about 185 frames per second with an Amd Phenom2x4965 quad core with Amd Radeon Hd 7870 2 gb memory. It's old but...

In Linux it does 5000 fps plus so I know there something wrong. In the games I have tried it either crashes or just gives me a frame every couple of seconds or so. Xonotic, Bzflag, Alien Arena etc.

I followed the instructions on this page: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics, but no luck. This system just has an old fashioned bios. No UEFI.

Any help here?
