I think I'm going to put aside for a while as since the 14.0 update and believe me I have even done a fresh install. I cannot get any compositor to run. I've read the handbook and even went back through the previous help I got from @evilham . I know seatd is working and I have XDG_RUNTIME_DIR set correct it's just that sway,river or hyprland just exit on signal 6 ( core dumped) the seat is running fine. I have my i915kms driver loaded according to kldstat. :void: is home

thindil,

@JustineSmithies I read that some people have also problems with Wayland and 14. It seems like we have a new "unexpected" feature. Perhaps taking a break from something is a good idea. 😉

@thindil @JustineSmithies just being curious. How was performance of wayland on FreeBSD 13.2.

Is it worth to dig into it, yet?

@Tionisla @thindil When it worked on 13.2 it was really good considering I was testing on an old celeron laptop.

It really shouldn't be that hard to get a Wayland compositor running under FreeBSD as it's a sinch to do on Linux and I have been doing so for a few years now.

@JustineSmithies it shouldn't!

This is one of those instances where the separation of ports and base isn't great.

Mind trying a last thing before giving up?

I happen to build drm-kmod packages for 14 on each commit, that ought to work for you, I am pretty sure this should be your issue.

You can get the matching packages from:
https://pkg.freebsd.evilham.com/packages-kmod/FreeBSD%3A14%3Aamd64/All/

And use pkg add -f to install them.

@evilham I'm game to try but not entirely sure how I get them from the link ???

@JustineSmithies download the .pkg files :-) then pkg add expects a local file.

You probs only need
https://pkg.freebsd.evilham.com/packages-kmod/FreeBSD%3A14%3Aamd64/All/drm-515-kmod-5.15.118_2.pkg

@evilham I'll give it a shot thank you ;)

@evilham I get a KLD i915kms.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch now.

evilham,
@evilham@chaos.social avatar

@JustineSmithies puzzled! Sure you didnt get that before?

I'd need an actual computer to check, but you can also try getting the appropriate intel firmware pkg from the same link (pkg info | grep firmware should tell you the name of the package).

Will tell you more tomorrow!

@evilham FYI I had drm-515-kmod installed by default with FreeBSD 14 Release and for some reason decided to try drm-510-kmod and sway runs up. The i915kms driver is successfully loaded.
