Ok so dmeg says that drm failed. I edited the .config |
| 11 |
file, using vi, to: |
| 12 |
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y |
| 13 |
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y |
| 14 |
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="R700_rlc.bin" |
| 15 |
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware/radeon" |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Rebuilt the kernel (make && make modules_install) |
| 18 |
and rebooted the latest kernel. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Now I get this error message in dmesg: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
[drm] Loading RV710 Microcode |
| 23 |
r600_cp: Failed to load firmware "radeon/R700_rlc.bin" |
| 24 |
[drm:rv770_startup] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware! |
| 25 |
radeon 0000:01:00.0: disabling GPU acceleration |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
so it's definitely a firmware loading malfunction. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Any guidance is appreciated. |
