This way, it works for both > radeon being =m and =y. Should we make Kconfig pop up a dialog and ask for the whereabouts of these firmware thingies when you mark the driver =y? This all sounds like magic to me, having to know you need to add to EXTRA_FIRMWARE, having to know what file it needs etc.. For all intents and purposes =y just doesn't work and that's broken. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
