Hi Warren.

Thanks for the response.  This works well except for one problem.
The kernel rebuild went fine and vt_vga worked during the boot
process. Tried kldload radeonkms and that worked well also.
So I put radeonkms_load="YES" in loader.conf and then the boot
process crashes. There is no dmesg available, but I can see
the following error messages on the screen.

error: [drm:pid0:r600_init_microcode] *ERROR* r600_cp: Failed to load firmware "radeonkmsfw_RV610_pfp"
error: [drm:pid0:r600_startup] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware!
drmn0: error: disabling GPU acceleration
error: [drm:pid0:r600_init] *ERROR* radeon: ucode required for R600+
drmn0: error: Fatal error during GPU init

I used a rescue cd to change loader.conf and get the system working
again. I do not understand what the probem is, since radeonkms will
work with kldload. I can also switch back and forth from X to vt
without problem now.

My graphics card is AMD RV610 HD 2400 PRO/XT
I'm running FreeBSD 10.0-stable on an amd64 machine.

I built everything with the lines
WITH_NEW_XORG=yes
WITH_GALLIUM=yes
in make.conf

Any advice?

Thanks, Mike
