I think I was quoting this forum post* by yuripv@, but now I see it's
from 2018 so it might no longer be accurate.  Sorry for confusion.

I'm currently trying to get X11 back to normal on my AMD laptop, and
without `x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati' port installed X server does not
even start, spamming me with "radeon: The kernel rejected CS, see dmesg
for more information (-16)."  Of course, there is nothing useful in
dmesg. :-(

Is "modesetting driver" only a thing in the Intel world, or it should
work for AMD cards too?
