Radeon 8xxx series not yet supported by any driver. I don't know why Kevin thinks 8xxx series would be supported. But it does not matter because you can just test if KMS works. Just install 10.1-RC version of FreeBSD, install X.org as instructed in the handbook. If it doesn't work, then use VESA. That's all there is to it really. > > PS. Legacy X.org is no longer in official package repository, thus I recommend everybody to update into 10.1-RC asap ... less problems that way. I'm not interested in 10.1-RC, I'm interested in nice, stable 9.3-RELEASE :-). Both were included in Kevin's reply, so no biggie .... -- William A.
