Well, I have one other suggestion, but this is just completely guesswork on my part. However, I ran into a problem where the "amdgpu" module did not work, though I can't remember the exact error messages I got. You mentioned you had the ATI driver installed in X. Given that, are you sure amdgpu is the right module you need in kld_list? Are you sure it's not radeonkms? Again. that's what nailed me the first time. I DO have an AMD GPU (A10 series). But it uses Radeon R7 graphics. So despite the fact that my GPU is build into the processor, I needed the radeonkms driver, not the amdgpu driver.
