I *had* to install some sort of working Firmware before I could even get X
to work. (I was limited to oversized Text Screens of 80x24, like the old
IBM Monitors from my IBM Mainframe days!)
Installed Firmware: "firmware-linux-free", "firmware-linux-nonfree",
"firmware-misc-nonfree", "firmware-amd-graphics", and "firmware-realtek".
