So it DID load the correct driver? Strange...!

It is normal in ghost bsd.

Please retry in the latest ISO build and please post the link to the https://bsd-hardware.info/ page. Thanks!

Does it work properly in NomadBSD?

If yes, then please try to find out what is the difference between NomadBSD and helloSystem. Different driver loaded? Different kernel module?

I don't have this hardware so I can only improve helloSystem if I know which change I need to make.

Thanks for your help!

It can be executed, but like the other two graphics cards, it is severely slow and occasionally breaks the graphics. I don't know where to see the driver. I only know that those three graphics cards run very well on GhostBSD.

Yes. Now you need to find out why it works there but not here. Once you know what is different, I can attept to fix it.

Unfortunately I can't do much without knowing what needs to be changed since I don't have the hardware.

If you can upload Hardware Probes from that machine, running

  • helloSystem
  • GhostBSD
  • NomadBSD

that would already be very helpful. Maybe we can find out the differences by looking at these 3 Hardware Probes.

Thanks!

Nomadbsd is more stable than Live after installation.
