Who knows? You're on testing, which basically means you've signed up to
solve problems in programs under development.

These are terms from the proprietary software, not FOSS.

If you are running the current stable version of Devuan and
using FOSS software, then the list can generally assist.
Otherwise, keep web searching and good luck because if you are going proprietary
bleeding edge with AMD, then you are going to do a lot of bleeding.
BTDT. IME, the AMD forums were largely useless as well. YMMV.

IMO, This option. When the software plays up, web search and you may
find instructions. IME, with stable it usually just involves installing
a few libraries/drivers. With testing, you may have to go to source and
compile and then reconcile conflicting packages.

FWIW. aptitude search opengl|wc -l =81 on chimaera, and
aptitude search mesa|wc -l =70 on chimaera.
