And what exactly had changed in between 11.4-PRERELEASE and 11.4-RELEASE
graphics-wise?  It always saddens me to see these "ah, you're running
prerelease version" or "sorry, support for version X.Y had ended yesterday,
please update to newer version" phrases, like it would make a difference (p=
ro
tip: no, it won't).

Unless we're talking about some specific changes, simply switching to 11.4 =
or
12.1 would most likely not magically make things better all of sudden.=20
radeon(4) cards, which used to work before, are currently broken in FreeBSD,
and that raises two questions: 1) what had caused the breakage, and 2) how =
to
fix it.  AFAIK, there are no answers for both of them ATM.

Tests I've done couple of months ago, trying various combinations of FreeBSD
13-CURRENT base and different drm-kmod drivers did not show any improvement=
s;
that is, I was not able to get back the experience of ca. 2017-2018 where
radeon(4) cards have been working fine on FreeBSD.
