Hi! Polaris (RX 4xx/5xx) is the latest supported card by drm-stable (4.9 currently). Keep in mind that if you use UEFI boot, you need to disable the EFI framebuffer currently: https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics/issues/170 As for Weston, you might want to check out my fork https://github.com/myfreeweb/weston I'm currently using it as my daily desktop as well as for developing Rust bindings https://github.com/myfreeweb/weston-rs
