FreeBSD 13 LATEST DESKTOP SETUP FOR RASPBERRY PI4 reddit / freebsd ---------------------------------------------------------------------- polkamonx · 2021-04-16 09:53 Anyone else tried it? Seems like FBSD still 10 years behind Linux. FreeBSD kek 13.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE #0 releng/13.0-n244733-ea31abc261f: Fri Apr 9 06:06:55 UTC 2021 [roo t@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org](mailto:root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org):/usr/o bj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/sys/GENERIC arm64 ​ I have 2 monitors connected to the Raspberry PI4 (this is a kiosk setup for displaying webpages all day long). Their resolutions 1920x1080. This works out of the box with Raspbian or what should I call it Raspberry OS these days... 2 clicks and you have the second monitor enabled and you align it where you want it. ​ With FreeBSD one of the monitors displaying that colored square (what you can see when RPI booting) I guess that means no signal. ​ The other works ok for console but the resolution is messed up. As far as I know there is no xorg config anymore xorg should automatically handle this. ​ Anyway for Xrandr I get: ​ **xrandr** **xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default** **Screen 0: minimum 592 x 448, current 592 x 448, maximum 592 x 448** **default connected 592x448+0+0 0mm x 0mm** **592x448 0.00\*** ​ Also what happened with these packages, the cat eat them? **pkg: No packages available to install matching 'htop' have been found in the repositories** **pkg: No packages available to install matching 'vim' have been found in the repositories** ​ Unless someone can suggest me a solution how to have the 2 monitors working including DPMS I will be trying FreeBSD again in 2025... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- reddit_original · 2021-04-16 10:05 It's obvious you need some education so please do come back in 2025. With that in mind, I could never get Arch running when I tried it last year but I can install FreeBSD with a desktop in less than 10 minutes. I guess Linux is 10 years behind. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- stepan_pavlov · 2021-04-16 11:22 RoboNuggie tried it.
