166 | <para>
|

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