I was wondering if you can please add a note to https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics#Tested_hardware_matrix regarding AMD Sea Islands (and probably AMD Volcanic Islands). Based on http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.devel.x11/14159, I assume that AMD Sea Islands depends on "Kernel: DRM kernel code: update to Linux 3.8" (done) and on "Kernel: i915 kernel driver: update to Linux 3.8" (work in progress). The wiki doesn't reflect this. I'm unable to startx because I assume my video card is not yet supported in FreeBSD (the wiki linked above says Not Supported, and "man radeon" doesn't list my HD card: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=radeon&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath=X11R7.4&arch=default&format=html). I'm using AMD Oland (Sea Islands) Radeon HD 8570 / R7 240 OEM on FreeBSD 10.1-RC2. If you need someone to help test the card, I can try, but I'll likely need guidance. Thanks!
