I don't think there is a hard line. Between radeonkms and amdgpu — we know, radeonkms supports the first two Graphics Core Next architectures and everything *before*, while amdgpu supports the first two Graphics Core Next architectures and everything *after*. Between the "modern" radeonkms (LinuxKPI-based) and "legacy" radeonkms (old direct port to FreeBSD base)… well, "if you have problems with modern, try legacy". I guess we could eventually collect enough reports to know which GPUs only work on legacy. But no hard line. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-x11 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
