1 Hi all,
2
3     How can I check that the microcode is being loaded by a radeon
4 HD5770 graphics card?
5
6 I have used "https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon" to set it up, but
7 there is nothing in dmesg about loading the firmware like you see with
8 the cpu microcode - the card works without the firmware compiled in, or
9 in the initramfs (or finds it after these stages - cant tell)
10
11 Can someone confirm that as its a PCI-E card, I don't need the kernel
12 AGPGART to be enabled?
