Yea, I actually wasn't sure if this would be regarded as such, thanks for the encouragement. I'll look that up. >> The relevant files are amdgpu/green_sardine_* > right, they only got pushed upstream in linux-firmware git on 11/2/2021 > after the latest 20210208 release, hence unfortunately they miss out the > next debian release > https://release.debian.org/bullseye/freeze_policy.html > > They will land in the next upstream release upload of 202103XX to > experimental, backports and then after bullseye release to unstable > (plus next testing). > I sure hope it would also end up in some point release? Or maybe a freeze exception could be made? It would be unfortunate if a new computer won't be usable (without backports) on stable Debian which is to be finally released presumably several months after the computer hit the market, for want of a rather minor fix.

The update should only contain the amdgpu/green_sardine_* firmware files and nothing else. A manual unblock is needed ofc, but that can be requested. Maybe the Release Team could clarify this? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Package: firmware-amd-graphics Version: 20210208-3 Hi, I've received my new laptop with a Ryzen R7 5800U and the display stopped updating as soon as amdgpu took over, and it never came back. The firmware is needed of course, and as a side note, it could be nice if the kernel could fail more gracefully, somehow bringing the display back (it works fine with amdgpu blacklisted, just no acceleration) such that it takes me less than two days to figure it all out. The relevant files are amdgpu/green_sardine_* Thanks!
