Issue after enabling radeonkms kernel module

Hi, I just installed FreeBSD 14.2 on a PC with an AMD Radeon HD 5450 video card, so tried to load the “radeonkms” kernel module on boot, after installing the drm-kmod pkg (binary), rebooted and the result is that the screen shows “no signal” on boot time, so I can not do anything to see what happened. Any idea? Thanks.
 
If you installed drm-kmod or drm-61-mod and enabled it in sysrc, I'd remove that (boot singleuser, / RW, disable radeonkms in conf, reboot, pkg remove it), and install drm-515-kmod.

On next boot you can try kldload radeonkms, and if it works then re-add it to autoboot.

Thanks for your reply, I’ll try that later. I installed drm-kmod because here it says that’s the port/package to install for my video card: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics/AMD-GPU-Matrix

So what’s the difference between drm-kmod and drm-515-kmod? Excuse my ignorance about this topic. Thanks
 
Please post the output of:
pkg query -x '%n-%v [%R]' '^drm(-|-515-|-61-)kmod'

graphics/drm-kmod is a meta port/package, it serves as a (nearly empty) container that installs the necessary other (dependent) packages. These other packages may be dependent on OS version or specific (GPU) hardware. On 14.2-RELEASE pkg install drm-kmod installs graphics/drm-61-kmod by default.
