Greetings all,

I've just received a new Dell Precision 7810. I've installed FreeBSD
10.1 (UEFI boot), checked out sources, built world & kernel and am now
running r284449. So far, so good.

The problem is Xorg. I'm running the latest Xorg in ports; I just did a
'make install clean' in /usr/ports/x11/xorg with no errors.

The display card is a FirePro W4100. lspci shows:

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[AMD/ATI] Cape Verde GL [FirePro W4100]

It has 4 DisplayPorts, and I have 2 monitors plugged in. If I run 'Xorg
-configure' it says

Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.
  Configuration failed.

Looking through /var/log/Xorg.0.log it appears that the X server is
trying to use the RADEON driver, but ends with:

Should I be able to use this video card? I've done some googling, and
apparently at least some Linux people are using it.

It's not a huge deal if it doesn't work; I can install a Radeon HD 4670
that I know works. If I've mis-configured something, though, I'd like to
fix it.

Thanks for any comments!
