Just a quick reminder as it seems to be forgotten too often...radeonhd
has not been supported or updated in a long time and is generally a
bad choice. Modern Radeon (4xxx) is supported much better with the ati
driver which is still getting some love.

Since Radeon is open-source, you might expect good support, but it
also depends on kernel mode setting and requires custom KMS DRI code
in the kernel which I am not sure anyone is working on for FreeBSD.

Maybe when the Intel KMS is completed...
