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
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...

Looking at the handbook...

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

Did you follow this?

https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/ha...figuration-amd

I have tried both and , but neither work. I am still getting the same error message.

I will try to do the install again, and just use the package manager this time, rather than desktop-installer.

I have since reinstalled FreeBSD 14 without using desktop-installer, and installing XFCE as per the handbook. The result was the same error message.

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