The HDMI output should work, though it's drived by the Intel GPU, not
the Radeon.

Your type of hardware configuration is meant to only use the Radeon GPU
(more powerful, less battery friendly) when the extra power is
needed/useful. In this case, the Radeon card is used to render a 3D
image for instance, and the Intel card is still used to display the
result on the screen. In FreeBSD, we lack the infrastructure to move
data between both cards.
