XOrg issues with detecting hardware, display and GPU

I am having issues with xorg + gnome not detecting my gpu + display. It works when I have no configuration files in xorg.conf.d, but only sees a generic display, and graphics output is terribly sluggish. When it is run with a xorg.conf.d file as shown:
Code:
Section "Device"
    Identifier "Card0"
    Driver "amdgpu"
    BusID "PCI:0:10:0:0"
EndSection
it spits out this log file after immediately halting:

I'm sorry if there is a very obvious solution, I am very new to BSD as a whole.
Thanks!

I would recommend to install hw-probe in order to collect hardware information and logs of your computer. Its really easy and when its uploaded you can find similar computers / resources on the database. Really handy to provide logs to the community oir order to get help :)

setup (as root)
Code:
1) pkg install hw-probe
2) hw-probe -all -upload
Ping your URL here......

You need to add kld_list="/boot/modules/amdgpu.ko" in /etr/rc.conf

Added that to my rc.conf, gnome started totally fine, but without any menu options or ways of starting programs. just the desktop background and an empty menu bar. I went ahead and opened a tty and added back my /usr/local/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-amdgpu.conf as shown in the OP, and now x wont start automatically. When I run
Code:
startx
as normal, the server fails to start. My /var/log/Xorg.0.log is as follows:
