I think framebuffer is the way I need to go, and I see how to add that to the kernel. I'm now seeing an error in the log when I boot. "Failed to load firmware radeon/R600_rlc.bin" Ah ha! So I need firmware, says I. Now in digging around in the contents of the kernel source I see a firmware folder which has a radeon folder. That contains R600_me.bin.ihex and R600_pfp.bin.ihex. I have to assume those are not what I need? Or are they?
