15 Interesting! o_O

17 I remember the firmware blobs changing at some point in the past and my dmesg
18 on this laptop complained about missing firmware.

20 I don't know if your card possesses the chipset the OS says it is. In the
21 first instance I suggest you add in the kernel what dmesg reports as failing
22 to load "radeon/RV730_pfp.bin". If the hardware wants it, you better provide
23 it. Then reboot and see if it starts up happily, or reports of more firmware
24 blobs failing to load.
