We're working to get all the information up to date and sort out the driver confusion. For FreeBSD 11.2 you'll need drm-stable-kmod. For FreebSD 12+ you can experiment with drm-next-kmod (known to have a few bugs). drm-stable-kmod support graphic cards same as Linux 4.9 and drm-next-kmod Linux 4.11. radeonkms driver supports up to Sea Islands. amdgpu driver does for sure not support Vega and I'm not sure exactly up to what GPU is confirmed to work. Looking for what is support by Linux 4.9 can give some hints. Perhaps someone more familiar with AMD GPUs have some more info? > > Regards, > Denis. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-x11@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-x11 > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-x11-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
