pfr WTH? the DRMKMS module printed nothing

Well, hell, compile the driver into the kernel. Start at Chapter 32. Comment out the 2 radeon lines (not strictly necessary, I think, because this driver doesn't support your card anyway) and uncomment the 2 amdgpu ones just below.

Back again, with a fresh install of NetBSD-HEAD

I'm using a 1440p monitor using display port

Halp!

pfr

ok, so I followed this wiki tutorial and added wsfb to my xorg.conf (ok so I know it says to put it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/wsfb.conf but I tried xorg.conf first and it kinda worked.

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "wsfb"
EndSection

Dropped to boot prompt and ran gop list which reported that 1440p was option 5

so I rangop 5 and BAM, 1440p.

I'm still not satisfied though because while I do have a better resolution the rendering is atrocious! mouse cursor is real janky and everything just seems slow.

I also dont really know how to add this to my /boot.cfg to get it to load on boot.

current/boot.cfg below:

menu=Boot 1440p:gop 5;boot   # I dunno, I'm just guessing

Note the last line. Recompile the kernel with the 2 radeon lines commented out, and uncomment the 2 amdgpu ones.
The gop 5 line is correct. (Won't matter for DRMKMS--which switches to the highest res. anyway)
As a shortcut to recompilation, you can load the amdgpu module, but,
- this has to be done in /boot.cfg (doing it on the command-line via modload amdgpu doesn't do anything on NetBSD).
- you'll also have to load all the modules amdgpu depends on the same way.
  
  To find these, you'll have to modload amdgpu, then do modstat and look at the REQUIRES field; then look at the REQUIRES for all of those modules in turn; then stick all the ones not built into the kernel into /boot.cfg:
```
menu=Boot normally:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;load amdgpu;load drmkms_sched;...;boot
```

I gave it a go. Got a bunch of errors in the frame buffer which I can't copy and pate here.
I'll type what I saw though

This is what I had:

menu=Boot normally:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;load amdgpu;load drmkms;load pci;load drmkms_pci;load drmkms_sched;load drmkms_ttm;load drmkms_linux;load i2cexec;load sysmon_power;boot

menu=Boot single user:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;boot -s
menu=Drop to boot prompt:prompt
default=1
timeout=3
clear=1

For some reason the selection in the boot menu is not consistent. I had to add a prompt entry at the beginning as previously hitting the corresponding number to drop to prompt [4] would not work and would just boot the system.

Oh, and this also does not work:

menu=Boot 1440p:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;gop 5;boot

menu=Boot normally:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;load amdgpu;load drmkms;load pci;load drmkms_pci;load drmkms_sched;load drmkms_ttm;load drmkms_linux;load i2cexec;load sysmon_power;boot

No, don't load every dependency; just the non-builtin ones. (Is there even a module called pci.kmod?)
If that doesn't work, just rebuild the kernel.

Bizarre.

pfr Oh, and this also does not work:

It should've. Crazy. (Or perhaps, just Australia...)

pfr

rvp thankfully the boot order issue was user error. I was using the arrow keys to stop the timeout instead of space and that apparently messes with the starting point of the boot menu... Go figure 🦘

This was also why I seemingly was unable to boot with the gop 5 option. It does in fact work when I don't touch the arrow keys.

Anyway, unfortunately I'm still not having luck loading the amdgpu modules successfully. I'd like to get it right using modload first before attempting to rebuild the kernel... That way I'll know exactly what needs to be enabled in the kernel, right?

@Jay if it isn't too much trouble, could you please change the title of this thread to replace NetBSD-9.3 with NetBSD-CURRENT and perhaps even delete all the comments before 2024. It doesn't seem relevant to this thread now. 🙏

pfr Anyway, unfortunately I'm still not having luck loading the amdgpu modules successfully.

I think just load drmkms_sched; load amdgpu ought to suffice. Everything else seems to be built into the kernel.

pfr That way I'll know exactly what needs to be enabled in the kernel, right?

Not really. Most of the drmkms bits get linked in implicitly.

pfr

I dropped to the boot prompts and:

> load amdgpu
> load drmkms
> boot

and got this: (not gonna type it out again)

Mind you, I did this without any /etc/xorg.conf ie. I've renamed it xorg.conf.bak
Do I need to edit my xorg.conf?

Should I use modesetting instead of wsfb?

rvp

pfr and got this

That's either a) we missed a reqd. module or, b) DRMKMS modules are simply not 1st-class citizens.

For a), do: modstat >before.txt; modload amdgpu; modstat >after.txt. Then, do a diff and see what new modules got loaded.

If it's b), compile a new kernel.

pfr Should I use modesetting instead of wsfb?

Yes, but only if DRMKMS driver works.

pfr

rvp do: modstat >before.txt; modload amdgpu; modstat >after.txt. Then, do a diff and see what new modules got loaded.

if diff -u before.txt after.txt has no output does that mean the files are the same? meaning its time for option B.?

rvp

pfr How did you do this test? It should be done with no load lines in /boot.cfg. Then, at least 2 modules should've been loaded: amdgpu and drmkms_sched

If it was with the load lines, then probably all the required modules got loaded. What does the dmesg look like in this case?

pfr

rvp I'm not booting with any load options. Just entered the command from a terminal once logged in.

rvp

pfr Can't be. As I said before, if you do modload amdgpu with a GENERIC kernel w/o any modules load lines, at least 2 modules will get loaded (amdgpu and drmkms_sched).

Post the dmesg output, we'll see if amdgpu "took".

pfr

I made a mistake last time and instead of loading drmkms_sched I just loaded drmkms.
After doing it correctly I was hopeful as my screen held it's native 1440p resolution for much longer while booting, but then reverted to "shithouse" reslolution after .. something failed.

rvp Post the dmesg output, we'll see if amdgpu "took".

dmesg

I'm assuming this is the line that indicated that amdgpu doees not "take"?

That's a kernel bug. File a PR (looks like the same issue as @r0ller) after you try the modesetting driver.

pfr I'm assuming this is the line that indicated that amdgpu doees not "take"?

No, just the opposite: it took.

BTW, the modesetting Xorg driver is recommended with DRMKMS. Do you have that config. fragment in place (so that the radeon driver is not tried)?

Happy to. But, I'm out of my depth with this stuff..

What exactly am I requesting in the PR?

What should I include in the PR?

Can you show the /var/log/Xorg.0.log resulting from this instance (ie. save the file before you do startx after the reboot).
