I'm not using this driver anymore either. As you can see from the upstream commit messages ( http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd/ ), the radeonhd driver is no longer developed. You will not see any more features or hardware support added to this driver. The radeon driver (aka xf86-video-ati ) should, theoretically, support 2D modesetting on HD5xxx GPUs. Acceleration on HD5xxx GPUs as well as acceleration and modesetting on HD6xxx GPUs requires kernel modesetting. As far as I know, no one has begun work on KMS for radeon GPUs on FreeBSD. Adam
