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 0000:01:00.0: disabling GPU acceleration so it's definitely a firmware loading malfunction. Any guidance is appreciated.
