Linux 4.9 includes experimental amdgpu support for AMD Southern Islands chipsets. (By default, only Sea Islands and newer chipsets are supported.) Southern Islands chips will still use radeon by default, but daring users may set `services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "amdgpu" ];` to try the experimental driver.
