It's definitely supported on all R100 through R700 GPUs (including yours) in 8-stable when using Mesa 7.6.1 from ports. You're only on Mesa 7.4.4. Make sure you read the relatively recent Mesa entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING so you know what knob to set in /etc/make.conf and then you can update Mesa and libdrm. Adam
