Just a point of clarification, I think you’re mixing version numbers up a bit: 
the Linux kernel version discussed in that forum refers to kernel 4.19 
(released Oct 22, 2018), not 1.19. The “compiled for 1.18.4” line is referring 
to the Xorg server version, not a Linux kernel version (there never was a Linux 
kernel 1.18, it jumped from patches against 1.0 to 1.1.x versions around 
~April-May 1994.

Depending on where your amdgpu module came from (e.g., if you compiled it 
yourself), the first thing I’d verify as a starter is that the “compiled for” 
version actually matches the Xorg server version you have installed via 
packages/ports/etc.
