I have a Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-DS2H (780G and AM2+) which works very well
with -current and the radeonhd driver, including drm.

I have the SATA disks running in AHCI mode.  What does not work is
a SATA DVD drive (seems to be a problem with the driver), so I'm
using an IDE drive.

I had to set hw.snd.default_unit=2 in /etc/sysctl.conf in order to get the
front headphone port to work.
