In fact, it now shows all AMD GPUs working on 9.3, 10.x and HEAD, so I was providing old information. Of course, OP lists 8.4/10.1-RC and all newer AMD GPUs are a no-go on 8.4 but working on 10.1-RC. So the answer is to build a kernel WITH_GALLIUM and run 10.1-RC2. Be sure /usr/ports is up to date as NEW_XORG became default on all branches on Oct. 3. An older tree will still default to the old Xorg for 8 and 9. 10 got NEW_XORG as default on Oct. 1. The wiki page lists which ports which require a rebuild if moving to NEW_XORG. -- Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired rkoberman@gmail.com
