I do not use a xorg.conf file with the Kaveri APU. It just works with the |
| 30 |
following: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
In /etc/portage/make.conf: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon radeonsi" |
| 35 |
FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware" |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
In kernel (Linux 4.0.5-gentoo AMD A10-7850K Radeon R7, 12 Compute Cores 4C+8G) |
| 39 |

When you install your kernel do not forget to run make firmware_install. |

I am not sure if I have omitted anything of importance. Please ask if you |
| 80 |
need additional information. |
