1 Hi list. I think some of you have Radeon video cards, right? I'm having
2 trouble getting my built-in video card to work:
3
4 00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Family 12h Processor Root Complex
5 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI BeaverCreek [Radeon HD 6530D]
6
7 The problem is that the screen goes black during boot if KMS is enabled,
8 but works just fine when disabled.
9
10 I found an error in dmesg, but I don't know how to fix it:
11

41 BTW, I did compile in all three SUMO firmware files, and SUMO_pfp.bin
42 is one of them. Should I see messages for the other two *if* they did
43 load okay? I don't know if they did or not.
