Package: firmware-linux-nonfree Version: 0.43 Severity: normal Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer, Recent kernel releases, especially for recent radeon GPUs (tahiti, kaveri, kabini, to name a few), are looking for updated firmware for said GPUs. Please see these commits for reference: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux- firmware.git/commit/?id=f333bd435c0b6745cbc4fae3326725d77bf57c82 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon?id=de5158226d47829f85c07dd5bca59d96213e1e08 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon?id=629bd33c75196ca89625148614e9e34b42f4f460 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon?id=f2c6b0f452c3804496f55655fda28c2809e1a58b The new firmware files are the lowercase named counterparts of the old existing firmware files, updated to the new header format. Both old and new firmware files should be present so that the kernel may choose which to load depending upon whether it has been updated to use the new header format. Running Linux 3.19 with version 0.43 of firmware-linux-nonfree on these affected radeon GPUs results in incomplete hardware feature activation like UVD and VCE, among others. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.19.1-towo.1-siduction-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
