What if you do not have a BIOS? I have FreeBSD on iMac.

Wash it with white spirit & dry it with a match....

restart never show anythink

I am not sure about UEFI. You must first ensure of system console with boot screen & find error there. Then start(x) X server with vesa/scfb drivers. The ati legacy driver is new & not properly tested. You probably have used "radeon" driver earlier with dri2. Some time "drm" drivers have it's own issues also.Link/

What GPU and does graphics/drm-next-kmod work?

 

[gnath]

What I gather, it is intended for post intel HD3000 & ati HD 6800 series.
Some users say it works for some older one without UFEI. Again there were some problems for xf86-video-ati. Still there are some issues for drm. I have browser & video player crashed some time in stable with drm-next-kmod.

stick in rc.conf:
For amdgpu: kld_list="amdgpu"
For Intel: kld_list="/boot/modules/i915kms.ko"
For radeonkms: kld_list="/boot/modules/radeonkms.ko"
