| 181 | Alternatively, if you change CONFIG_DRM_RADEON to '=m' in your .config
|
---|
| 182 | the firmware can be loaded automatically from /lib/firmware/radeon when

| 183 | it installs the module. This offers a tiny space saving, but also means
|

| 184 | that the screen will be blank for a longer time before the framebuffer
