Hi Gerd,

Thanks for pointing this out.

Is it possible that Radeon HD 8470D will work 100% under FreeBSD in the=20
coming days ? (My box is FreeBSD 11.0 Release)

If it is not likely, I'll keep it in mind to purchase a separate=20
graphics card as a long-term solution. The problem with that is there=20
seems to be no card on the FreeBSD list currently available at=20
Amazon/Flipkart. The Sapphire AMD/ATI R5 230 2 GB DDR3 card seems like a=20
good fit for my motherboard, but I have no idea whether FreeBSD supports=20
that family.
