AMD, GDM, GNOME: FreeBSD bugs 253746 and 257810 #27

Closed grahamperrin closed 1 year ago

grahamperrin commented 1 year ago

Under https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/xpmn0z/ I mention FreeBSD bugs:

The first answer there suggested desktop-installer. I wonder, does the script alert the end user if there's the aim to use GNOME with AMD graphics?

No, I don't want to get into the business of chasing individual bugs in underlying software. What I could potentially do is enhance the general warnings in auto-gpu-setup to educate users about possibilities like this one. I'll give some thought to how it should be presented.

I made some small improvements to the text and committed sysutils/auto-admin so they will appear in the next branch. We can make further improvements if you have any ideas.
