Hi!
It's very hard to fix the regression in a good way. If we revert the change,
we will break support for newer hardware. This seem to be a problem with the
legacy kmod, which only support old hardware, being incompatible with the new
xf86-video-ati. The new drm-stable-kmod modules support mostly the same
hardware, as well as more modern hardware, and works with the new
xf86-video-ati.
There is already a port, graphics/drm-kmod that selects the appropriate kmod
depending on FreeBSD version.
It might be possible to create a legacy version of xf86-video-ati, but that
would conflict with the current version, meaning it would be troublesome
getting it installed.
Trying to figure out, based on hardware, which xf86-video-ati port to install
would, in my opinion, be very fragile, and probably only lead to even more
support issues.
