I don't think there is a hard line. Between radeonkms and amdgpu =97 we know, radeonkms supports the first=20 two Graphics Core Next architectures and everything *before*, while=20 amdgpu supports the first two Graphics Core Next architectures and=20 everything *after*. Between the "modern" radeonkms (LinuxKPI-based) and "legacy" radeonkms=20 (old direct port to FreeBSD base)=85 well, "if you have problems with=20 modern, try legacy". I guess we could eventually collect enough reports=20 to know which GPUs only work on legacy. But no hard line. =
