The only thing that actually worked for me was the kms module loaded in
rc.conf. Any attempt to configure the display in xorg.conf resulted in
an X server that would not start, but would continue running for awhile
and appear in the process list before it finally gave up. But again, I
must have an older AMD GPU because it uses the radeonkms driver instead
of amdgpu. (It's an AMD A10-7860k with Radeon R7 graphics)
On another note, I'm using UEFI boot. Based on my limited understanding,
I think that means X is actually using the scfb driver, which is not
ideal from what I understand (no accelerated graphics). But it works
fine for what I do, and it's the only configuration I could get working.

Hm, ok, I may have not been clear with my problem.
Xorg DID work before. It certainly won't accept radeon driver - it's
RX560. I certainly had working Xorg about two weeks ago. Then after a
reboot, boom, no more graphics.
So my configuration is right.
Even though I don't need the whole xorg.conf, I need xorg.conf.d
directory with a snippet that forces GPU to use to use amdgpu X11
driver - otherwise it tries to use modesetting.
does the modesetting driver work when you remove the xorg.conf? (might
have missed that).
