Two things, nothing major. Thanks for the help in getting this documented.

| 415 | There needs to be an empty line after <title> tags. textproc/igor will tell you all about it when running it on your modified xml file. | |
| 419 | Another empty line here between the closing </para> and <variablelist>. | |

Added amdgpu, and explain that radeonkms and amdgpu are in general used for older and newer graphcs respectively.
Also add reference lists for which GPUs are supported.

| 449 | Same here? | |

The build fails for me, because it doesn't know the newly introduced entities:
rene@e17:/usr/freebsd/doc/head % find . -name "*.ent" -exec grep -iH radeon {} \;
./share/xml/man-refs.ent:<!ENTITY man.radeon.4x "<citerefentry xmlns='http://docbook.org/ns/docbook' vendor='xorg'><refentrytitle>radeon</refentrytitle><manvolnum>4</manvolnum></citerefentry>">
./share/xml/man-refs.ent:<!-- <!ENTITY man.radeonhd.4x "<citerefentry xmlns='http://docbook.org/ns/docbook' vendor='xorg'><refentrytitle>radeonhd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>4</manvolnum></citerefentry>"> -->
rene@e17:/usr/freebsd/doc/head %
But nothing for &radeonkms; ?

I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to do about these entries (nor am I even sure where to add them), because upstream (linux drm/kms stack) doesn't seem to provide these man-pages and I'm not at all capable of writing them.
So what am I supposed to do?

Updated patch at https://people.freebsd.org/~rene/patches/x11-kms.diff which (apart from the entities) solves all build problems and fixes some style/igor bugs.

Applied the changes from rene@ after satisfying myself I understand why they were made.

Adding Sato-San and Warren to help shed a light on the issue about the entities (which is the proper file they should be added to?).

Turns out this revision didn't work, will update with a new diff that fixes it once I get the OK for the change.
