radeonhd isn't really developed further, unfortunately.
I find it rather sad for *BSD users, where KMS is not available everywhere and it seems to be standard/required for the ati driver.
Am I wrong?
xf86-video-ati still supports UMS on cards up to and including E-350 fusion chips. Only newer Northern Islands cards are KMS only. That said, UMS does not get much testing anymore since few Linux users still use it. Unfortunately, we don't have the manpower to really support both code paths. UMS has so many limitations it's hard to support modern hardware with it without a lot of infrastructure upgrades. The effort would be better spent on porting KMS to your preferred platform. If xf86-video-ati UMS or xf86-video-radeonhd are important to *BSD or another OS, it would be great if someone from those communities would help support it. Alex
