This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 4880 and 3156) --o6xpxmOxLM1DEKWSLQwMS6wdL3S2jtPfE Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics If this list is up-to-date, then you can only use VESA for the time being= =2E 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 becau= se you can just test if KMS works. Just install 10.1-RC version of FreeBS= D, 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 reco= mmend everybody to update into 10.1-RC asap ... less problems that way. On 17.10.2014 16:03, William A.
