FreeBSD Support for AMD A4-6300 Richland w/ Radeon HD 8370D

[David P. Discher]

Hey X11 -

I was looking high and low, and want confirm my conclusion that the kernel support is missing for this particular revision of the GPU.

     AMD A4-6300 Richland Dual-Core 3.7GHz Socket FM2 65W Desktop Processor AMD Radeon HD 8370D


Xorg’s autoconfig says it is ARUBA, however either Xorg or a manual load radeonkms.ko does not load any of the firmware modules.  Forcing the ARUBA firmware load doesn’t help either.

And if it is true the support is missing form FreeBSD, how can I help ?
