It looks to me like 8000 series is unsuported, there is a red box next to Sea Islands chipset ... maybe i am looking in wrong place. There is stuff on that page about importing linux kernel code, i built a 3.13.5 to test and it works with the firmware, opengl works but i havent done alot of acceleration tests.

anyway id rather run 11.0-current on that machine.
