Ctrl-Alt-Fn from X leads to blank screen

After hours upgrading from 14.0 to 14.2, perhaps 5 hours, I got from a working system a broken system.

It is frustrating! Both, the hours of upgrade and a broken result is not surprise, it became normality in FreeBSD.

Perhaps that this happens in a minor upgrade is new.

The problem is, as written above, that I cannot get back to the console.
I need it to see the console messages, at least when I shutdown the system, but not only.
It is a grave thing in my opinion.

This is my motherboard:

E35M1-I - Support

Any hint? Thanks!

Edit:
Ctr-Alt-F1 brings the monitor to standby state as were the system turned off.
I can return to X11 with Ctr-Alt-F9.

(replace "virtualbox-ose-kmod" by the drm-XX-kmod you use, if you choose to use the FreeBSD-kmod repo)

Thanks, but I do not understand.

How I get what "drm-XX-kmod I use". I did not know I use that!!!!

And where to replace it?

With pkg_info I get:

# pkg info | grep drm
drm-61-kmod-6.1.92.1401000_3 DRM drivers modules
drm-kmod-20220907_3 Metaport of DRM modules for the linuxkpi-based KMS components
gpu-firmware-kmod-20241114,1 Firmware modules for the drm-kmod drivers
libdrm-2.4.123,1 Direct Rendering Manager library and headers
# pkg info | grep video
xf86-video-amdgpu-22.0.0_2 X.Org amdgpu display driver
xf86-video-ati-19.1.0_7,1 X.Org ati display driver
xf86-video-scfb-0.0.7_2 X.Org syscons display driver
xf86-video-vesa-2.5.0_3 X.Org vesa display driver

When a new minor version of FreeBSD is released, three months are required before the repositories get compiled with this new version.For mundane softwares, there is no incidence, but for the ones that are kernel modules, this can lead to some problems, including crashes.

Does this do not speak about a very bad politic of FreeBSD?
I need to work with the computer.
On the one side I am compelled to update a working system, because it is not more supported,
on the other side upgrading leads to a broken system.

I repeat: it is frustrating. The upgrading takes hours and leads to a broken system.
This became the rule, not an exception.
 
Ok, you installed the meta port drm-kmod. It's a little more complicated.

You need to make drm-61-kmod and gpu-firmware-kmod "non-automatic installed" software.
pkg set -A0 drm-61-kmod
pkg set -A0 gpu-firmware-kmod
pkg delete drm-kmod
drm-kmod is of no longer use.
You already put the right config file concerning FreeBSD-kmod in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/.
pkg delete drm-61-kmod
pkg install drm-61-kmod
It should install the suited and official version of drm-61-kmod.
