--- 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.
