AMD GPUs kernel-modesetting support
This page is dedicated to the project bringing kernel support for the AMD GPUs. It allows the use of newer xf86-video-ati drivers and AMD GPUs.
This project started in January 2013. Initial radeon code comes from Linux 3.8-rc3 and a previous porting effort by Alexander Kabaev. Initial TTM port is provided by Konstantin Belousov.
Status
The code is in HEAD and stable/10.
Reporting
If you encounter problems with either the kernel driver or the in-development ports, please send a mail to freebsd-x11@FreeBSD.org and join:

- any port build/install errors if relevant
core.$n.txt(in/var/crash) if you have a kernel panic- any details you see fit
If everything is working for you, you may report on the same mailing (this helps us know which hardware/software configuration are believed to work) and join:
