Hi @probonopd,

the device ID is already there. Looking at the console outputs from the videos, I see that the problem is not really solved:

In the first video initgfx loads the i915kms module (the default vga unit is set to the IGPU, not the Radeon as it seems). The following Xorg test is successful, but it seems there is no connection to the display (<drm> Cannot find any crtc or sizes).

In the second video initgfx again loads i915kms, but this time there is no feedback, no <drm>-messages. Naturally, the Xorg test fails this time, and then initgfx falls back to SCFB.

It would be interesting to see the output of pciconf -lv | grep -B3 display and sysctl hw.pci.default_vgapci_unit. Did the user change any settings in the bios?

Sorry @mrclksr if I have sent an invalid PR. I must have been mislead by the seeming "success" in the video. (Do you have an explanation why initgfx might have used SCFB in the second but not in the first video?)

Indeed. I will try to ping the user.

No problem :)

That's the big question. It's hard to tell at the moment.
