Hi Greg,


I tried your suggestion, thanks.

"kldload amdgpu" crashes the system: 
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228498

"kldload radeonkms" doesn't help: xorg still doesn't boot.

Setting hw.syscons.disable=1 in /boot/loader.conf freezes the system 
during boot with some EFI messages.

I am still not able to makexorg run on Radeon R2/R3/R4/R5.

Yuri
