If I understand how this stuff works, you shouldn't install both. I
think xf86-video-amdgpu makes the X server deal with the GPU directly,
rather than going through /dev/dri and kernel mode-setting. I think
drm-kmod is preferred, and xf86-video-amdgpu is deprecated.
That's probably not why /dev/dri doesn't exist, though. For a new GPU,
-current and the current drm-kmod are more likely to work.
