Joe Casullo Posted March 12, 2023 Author Posted March 12, 2023 The i915kms kernel module is not in /boot/modules, so I tried to install it and and I got the message below. Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository is up to date. Updating FreeBSD-base repository catalogue... FreeBSD-base repository is up to date. Updating udi repository catalogue... udi repository is up to date. All repositories are up to date. pkg: No packages available to install matching 'drm-510-kmod-5.10.163_1' have been found in the repositories [admin@eisy ~]$
Joe Casullo Posted March 12, 2023 Author Posted March 12, 2023 I believe the latest package for FreeBSD 13 is drm-510-kmod-5.10.163_2, I'll give that a try.
Joe Casullo Posted March 12, 2023 Author Posted March 12, 2023 This is a screenshot after I ran sudo kldload i915kms, the text does get smaller and displays some messages before the HDMI signal is lost.
bpwwer Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Try restarting and then run the sudo kldload i915kms from a ssh session. If you can do so while the display is attached to the eisy and on, that would be best. What's showing on the screen looks correct so the driver does seem to load properly. It's just when it tries to detect the display that something goes wrong.
Joe Casullo Posted March 12, 2023 Author Posted March 12, 2023 I did what you said and the exact same messages appear before the screen goes black.
Joe Casullo Posted March 14, 2023 Author Posted March 14, 2023 I guess there is no solution to this problem and I say the HDMI hardware is defective. I will open a service ticket and go from there. Thanks for all the help. 1
Geddy Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 @Joe Casullo Keep us updated on what happens. Would be interesting to see if there's a software/firmware/driver fix or if you have a device issue.
Joe Casullo Posted March 14, 2023 Author Posted March 14, 2023 I opened a ticket and they said I just need a BIOS update, I’ll let you know. 1
Solution Joe Casullo Posted March 14, 2023 Author Solution Posted March 14, 2023 Fixed the HDMI issue, I opened a ticked and Michel said I needed a BIOS update. Did the BIOS update and now my HDMI ports work and I can get the the desktop. Thanks all. 1
