Do any of the BSDs support AMD RX 580 GPUs and the new Ryzen 5 CPUs?

TrueOS had trouble recognizing my RX 580.

FreeBSD, well, that can't really recognize my RX 480.

I believe FreeBSD version 12 fixes that.

FreeBSD has good platform support for the new Ryzen CPUs, including
Threadripper and Epyc.

Considering the DRM changes that were required to get Vega to work in
Mesa, I doubt that Vega will work anytime soon.

What version of Mesa is fbsd using now?

I have no clue, I'm really no to the whole BSD thing.

Thanks, will try.

17.3.0, the latest Mesa release.

amdgpu 4.14 (with Vega) was promised a few months ago @
https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-
graphics/pull/168#issuecomment-326095499 but we're still on what I
think is 4.12. My RX 480 works great :)

Keep in mind the `efifb` issue
https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics/issues/170 if
you're booting with UEFI, you have to boot blind
(`hw.syscons.disable=1`). This is probably why TrueOS fails for

Wow, that is fantastic. I might move a machine back to true-os based
on that news alone.

RX 580 isn't Vega; it's Polaris.  (The same microarchitecture as RX
4xx.)

Thanks for all the work you do on the FreeBSD graphics stack!

Ah yes, my mistake
