Ok my card id is 4e50. I've search for it in the drm_pciids.h file and
i didn't found the appropriate card. Indeed i've found the 4E50 card
which is, as the one i have, a rv350 radeon card. However that
different capital letter is making me think that something is
different over there...

But another question come up on my mind: should we use instead of the
in-kernel drm support the one given by the x11-drm package?

Best regards,
MC
