I'm very far from an expert on firmware, but on my modern machines with reasonably-stripped-down configs it doesn't take _too_ long to rebuild a kernel. For trying to identify what is needed on a (desktop) radeon, I usually use the gentoo wiki: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon Just above the 'Driver' section [ gentoo-specific ] is a table with columns for Family, Chipset name, Product name, Firmware - I see that page has been updated since I last needed to look at it: the Sea Islands and Volcanic Islands families are new to me, so I assume that whatever it specifies is current. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
