You already solved your problem, but this might be useful for future reference: http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonBuildHowTo#TroubleshootingExtraFirmwareforR600.2BAC8-R700.2BAC8-Evergreen > In the kernel, under the Generic section, I have: > CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y > CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y > CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon" > CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware" > > Correct? > > Ideas? This thread got me to recheck my setup, and it appears that you do not need to set up the firmware stuff in the kernel at all. My kernel setup: >> (0) % zgrep -i firmware /proc/config.gz CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y # CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL is not set CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="" # CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID is not set # Firmware Drivers CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP=y The microcode is loaded automatically: marcec marcec # dmesg|grep -i microcode [drm] Loading RV730 Microcode HTH -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup
