You'll need the above if you using WiFi, but for your graphics can you plea= se=20 take a look/share the output of: lspci | grep -i VGA and lshw -C cpu lshw -C display The above will show which APU you are using and its GPU cores. Then it is = a=20 matter of looking here for the corresponding GPU chipset and microarchitect= ure=20 you need to enable in the kernel: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AMDGPU#Feature_support before you check what firmware blobs you also need to include, from this=20 table: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AMDGPU#Firmware_blobs_for_a_known_card_model Alternatively, as Wol mentioned, you can set up your kernel graphics driver= s=20 as modules (temporarily) and inspect dmesg to find out what firmware is bei= ng=20 loaded. Then use this information to add the firmware file names to be bui= lt=20 in the kernel and also configure to be built-in any kernel graphics drivers. --nextPart13582169.uLZWGnKmhe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
