Hi!

Polaris (RX 4xx/5xx) is the latest supported card by drm-stable (4.9 
currently).

Keep in mind that if you use UEFI boot, you need to disable the EFI 
framebuffer currently:

As for Weston, you might want to check out my fork 
https://github.com/myfreeweb/weston I'm currently using it as my daily 
desktop as well as for developing Rust bindings
