It looks like that has a product id of 0x68a0 which is a JUNIPER radeon comparable to a Mobility Radeon HD 5870. JUNIPER is part of the evergreen generation which has modesetting and 2d/3d acceleration with the in tree radeondrm(4) and Mesa 13.0.6. > > I see no mention of Firepro on the OBSD web site and google is > no help either. Each radeon part can have many different marketing names for each variant that change each time they change the marketing names and rebadge the old parts. The kernel and userland code generally refers to codenames and there isn't any one place that has an exhaustive mapping. https://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_accelerated_processing_unit_microprocessors src/sys/dev/pci/drm/drm_pciids.h https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/include/drm/drm_pciids.h?h=v4.15 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_drv.c?h=v4.15#n469
