On that machine I have 11.0-CURRENT r263254 with ports r348475 and your x11 update overlay installed.. I pulled the linux kernel 3.16.6 sources and will see about pulling in the radeon drivers (AFAIK Sea Island support first appeared in 3.11 so 3.8 has no support). It may be over my head and a terrible disaster but I'll give it a try. Otherwise looking forward to July update. Thank you, -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA +1.510-830-7975
