OK, problem solved for now! :-) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
My list of blobs was: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="intel-ucode/06-1e-05 radeon/R700_rlc.bin radeon/ |
| 35 |
RV730_smc.bin radeon/RV710_uvd.bin" |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
and it now is: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="intel-ucode/06-1e-05 radeon/R700_rlc.bin radeon/ |
| 40 |
RV730_pfp.bin radeon/RV730_me.bin radeon/RV730_smc.bin radeon/RV710_uvd.bin" |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Console buffer works, xserver works. I don't know if all of them are |
| 43 |
necessary, but if it works and doesn't complain I don't have to try messing |
| 44 |
things up. ;-) |

My video card in case you have the same is: |

|
| 48 |
Chipset: "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670" (ChipID = 0x9488) |
