Package: kfreebsd-image-10.0-0-amd64 Version: 10.0~svn259404-1 Severity: important
Loading radeonkms (without non-free firmware) in my Radeon HD 2400 PRO (RV610 chip, PCI id 0x1002 / 0x94c3) results in unusable screen, full of color noise. It seems that while this doesn't apply to all the cards, there are some where the driver becomes completely unusable unless the firmware blobs are loaded. This situation seems completely unworkable. Unless someone has a better idea, I'll remove radeonkms from the Debian package. I just can't see any advantage in shipping it: Users who want the firmware blobs can install kfreebsd-downloader-10, and users who refuse to install non-free firmware will be better served by VESA than by a crippled driver. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
