My goal for this project is to have an OpenBSD workstation (I run
-current) built around 4k displays. I have a Dell P4317W 4k display on
order and I am going to order a couple of other 4k displays as well. I
have a Radeon HD 6870 Eyefinity 6 card which should be supported by
radeondrm(4) but it does not support 4k displays at 60Hz. There is a
Radeon HD 7750 card that also has six Mini DisplayPort connectors and
does support 4k displays but I am not totally clear if it will work well
with radeondrm(4). Reading the archives is not quite clear on this.
The alternative is to use a Skylake processor with integrated graphics
and use efifb(4) and wsfb(4) for now which I presume would work well
enough although not as well as something supported by inteldrm(4). I am
using my ThinkPad X260 with efifb(4) and wsfb(4) which works pretty well
but it would be nice to have properly accelerated Xorg.
Any recommendations? Thank you.
