11:35:43 <Woodstock> duncan: thanks, that was it.
11:59:03 <duncan> IME Linux will work just fine without doing that (I've been using coreboot + kexecboot/petitboot for a while), it seems to do its own init of the hardware
11:59:35 <duncan> Not so much with BSD and others, and it's really annoying trying to work it out as there usually aren't any error messages apparent
12:00:30 <duncan> E.g. on FreeBSD X11 will not find the intel video driver despite i915kms loading and setting the correct resolution, and Wayland will work fine with 3D acceleration
