The handbook and man pages for FreeBSD are available on-line. TrueOS
has its own handbook, also available on-line, that provides additional,
TrueOS-specific information.

Like the man wrote, you could try radeonkms instead of amdgpu. In

If the device has not first been detected and recognized by a driver
in the kernel, how could xorg be aware of it? The driver obviously has to
