https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40576 --- Comment #3 from RandomCore <freedesktop@xxxxxxxxx> 2011-09-02 07:50:12 PDT --- ok, one by one. 1) /lib/firmware/radeon I installed firmware-linux-nonfree (Debian v0.33), added the necessary lines to the kernel .config to have them all included. Booting with this (radeon.modeset=0 or =1) was not different or better then without. 2) PCI Quirks I added CONFIG_PCI_QUIRKS=y to my .config This got me some difference: a) a 30s lag where the firmware should install: $ grep "drm\|radeon" dmesg_bootlog_20110902_1624-kms-fw-pciquirks [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 [drm] radeon defaulting to kernel modesetting.

So, many thanks for this improvement alone (factor 12 against software renderer only). How can I address this firmware problem ("Failed to load firmware")? Why is it the R600_rlc.bin and not the R700_rlc.bin? Is there a newer/better one around? Anything more I can do or test? cu, RandomCore -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
