I would prefer nvidia for the drivers! :-)

(I have a Sapphire HD 5770 1GB GDDR5) I suspect it requires the JUNIPER_rlc.bin Check your dmesg/lspci/lshw for info on the chipset. a section of the output of lswh shows: *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: Juniper [Radeon HD 5700 Series] vendor: ATI Technologies Inc physical id: 0 bus info: pci@:01:00.0 version: 00 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm pciexpress msi vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=radeon latency=0 resources: irq:43 memory:d000-dfff memory:fe8c-fe8d ioport:b000(size=256) memory:fe8a-fe8b *-multimedia description: Audio device product: Juniper HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5700 Series] vendor: ATI Technologies Inc physical id: 0.1 bus info: pci@:01:00.1 version: 00 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm pciexpress msi bus_master cap_list configuration: driver=HDA Intel latency=0 resources: irq:44 memory:fe8fc000-fe8f So it's probably the one you say, but in /lib64/firmware/radeon there are: JUNIPER_me.bin JUNIPER_pfp.bin JUNIPER_rlc.bin What is the difference between them? And which package owns them? Because equery shows nothing. equery b /lib64/firmware/radeon/JUNIPER_* * Searching for /lib64/firmware/radeon/JUNIPER_me.bin,/lib64/firmware/radeon/JUNIPER_pfp.bin,/lib64/firmware/radeon/JUNIPER_rlc.bin ... #

I edited the .config file, using vi, to: CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE=R700_rlc.bin CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR=/lib/firmware/radeon Rebuilt the kernel (make make modules_install) and rebooted the latest kernel. Now I get this error message in dmesg: [drm] Loading RV710 Microcode r600_cp: Failed to load firmware radeon/R700_rlc.bin [drm:rv770_startup] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware! radeon :01:00.0: disabling GPU acceleration so it's definitely a firmware loading malfunction. Any guidance is appreciated.
