Successful FreeBSD 14.0 install with wm / de on Dell Vostro 3350?


I have tried a couple of times to install FreeBSD 14 on my Dell Vostro 3350. lspci | grep VGA (in Linux) reports that I have a hybrid graphics card with both a Radeon HD 6400M/7400M series GPU as well as discreet Intel graphics support. I have tried installing
Code:
# pkg install drm-kmod
but that didn't help. I still continue to get: Unable to connect to X server: Connection refused. I have looked at the log, and not found any inspiration there either.

Does anyone have any ideas? I would like to learn more about FreeBSD, but haven't had much luck so far. I am just going around in circles, as there doesn't appear to be much information about this issue...

You also need to enable the loading of the module in /etc/rc.conf

Did you follow this?

I have tried both
Code:
# sysrc kld_list+=amdgpu
and
Code:
# sysrc kld_list+=radeonkms
, but neither work. I am still getting the same error message.

It looks like only one card from the series is supported by FreeBSD:
