You have to set the path to the firmware-files under Device Drivers -> Generic driver options -> External Fimware blobs to build into. I have had two AMD-APUs where lspci stated a different model than X found - in both cases the model that X found is the one that works. I found the exact model of my APU-chip in Xorg.0.log Code:

this is the path and file you have to state in your kernel-config.įind which file belongs to your hardware can be a little bit tricky good info is here and here Since you have altrady emerged radeon-firmware, the firmware-files reside in /lib/firmware/radeon/. I have a similar box (A6-APU with Radeon HD 7540D) which i will use in the examples.įirst, find out which exact Radeon-model it has:Ġ0:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. build kernel, install modules and kernel and have some fun.ĭisclaimer: Since I don't own a radeon card I can't reproduce everything myself, but I have these options in my kernel anyways. Make sure you have /lib/firmware/radeon/your-model.binĩ. By now the 'Firmware blobs root directory' option should have appeared, enter the path to your firmware directory (/lib/firmware is default).Ĩ. Enter (space separated if you need more than one blob) the firmware file, e.g. Select 'Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary'Ħ. Select 'Userspace firmware loading support' (is most likely enabled by default)ĥ. go to 'Device Drivers' and press enterģ, go to 'Generic Driver options and press enter (for me it's the first entry under device driversĤ. I have that option exactly where you stated it should be:Ģ. but i think perhaps it has the same drivers as another card.Įxcuse my english, its not my native language but i cant find the place where i have to say to my kernel what my graphics card is.Īlso my card isnt in the list on radeon page at the wiki. Startx doesnt work, and X -configure neither, so i think i didnt do the confiuration right. I have installed x11-base/xorg-drivers, and radeon-ucode but when i do make menuconfig i cant find (/lib/firmware) Firmware blobs root directory Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary In the radeon configuration page ( ) says: it is new, so i only had ubuntu installed in this machine. my computer has an amd a10 5800 processor, with a radeon hd7600d gpu. Hello, i am an archlinux user who is trying to install gentoo for the fist time.
