5 I had recently done the same thing, but can't get KMS to work as it
6 can't load the needed firmware for my card.

8 My card is a ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3600 Series and the
9 error I get is:
10
11 platform radeon_cp.0: firmware: requesting radeon/RV635_pfp.bin
12 r600_cp: Failed to load firmware "radeon/RV635_pfp.bin"
13 [drm:r600_init] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware!

15 The firmware is there

22 /lib64/firmware/radeon/RV635_me.bin
23 /lib64/firmware/radeon/RV635_pfp.bin

25 I can't find anything related to my problem reading the kernel
