|

| 167 | Alternatively, if you change CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU to '=m' in your .config
|
|---|
| 168 | the firmware can be loaded automatically from /lib/firmware/radeon when
|
|---|
| 169 | it installs the module. This offers a tiny space saving, but also means
|
|---|
| 170 | that the screen will be blank for a longer time before the framebuffer
|
|---|
| 171 | appears. Distros take this approach because it is not practical to
|
|---|
| 172 | specify every possible firmware and the kernel would be excessively big.
