[Solved] radeonsi: only Software Rendering with AMD A10-7850k APU

Question

Hi,
I have a new computer with an AMD A10-7850k APU.
I installed Arch Linux as usual and now get only Software Rendering with the open source drivers.
$ glxinfo | grep vendor
server glx vendor string: SGI
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
Xorg.0.log
http://pastebin.com/Pi1rCW5n
dmesg | grep drm
http://pastebin.com/qx7Re1fv
I am in the video group and I have no nomodeset in my boot entry.
Is this APU not yet supported for Hardware Rendering with the radeonsi drivers or do I miss anything?
Thanks in advance for any help!

glxinfo | grep vendor    says very little about software / hardware rendering.
try grepping for renderer or OpenGL
$ glxinfo | grep vendor
server glx vendor string: SGI
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
$
$ glxinfo | grep renderer
GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent, GLX_MESA_query_renderer,
GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent, GLX_MESA_query_renderer,
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV770
$
$ glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
