	Yes they did thank you, in the end deleting xorg.conf made it all
happy which surprised me since it was all about displays and layout, xrandr
gets the job done anyway so it was redundant.

	Yes I had to build drm-kmod and mesa-dri from ports to get
everything working (the package lacks the radeonsi vpdau drivers). Well I
say everything, I haven't tried openCL just openGL.

	Hmm all that works fine for me (AMD A9 laptop), as soon as amdgpu
cuts in it starts mirroring to HDMI until X gets involved and separates the
displays again.
