https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D245702 --- Comment #16 from Niclas Zeising <zeising@FreeBSD.org> --- drm-kmod still provides the radeonkms.ko driver, and should work with xf86-video-ati or modesetting. However, as Greg points out, the age of the hardware means that upstream is paying less attention to it. It is also ha= rder to come by this hardware, meaning that we have limited possibilities to tes= t on it. Most focus is on amdgpu, which supports hardware from the last 10 year= s or so. Specifically, in this case, drm-legacy-kmod is being deprecated as well (however, it will live on in base for the lifetime of FreeBSD 11 and most likely 12), and xf85-video-ati-legacy, which was created to use drm-legacy-= kmod broke with the xserver 1.20 update, with no one stepping up to try to fix i= t.=20 I made a blind attempt to fix it, which made it build, but did not solve run time issues. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
