r08bb8d2c r5504a724 1154 1154 <note> 1155 1155 <para> 1156 For Direct Rendering to work with newer Radeon Cards (r300 and later chipsets), 1157 you will need to enable building of r300, r600 and radeonsi Gallium drivers in 1158 <xref linkend="mesalib"/> instructions. Also, some cards will require Firmware 1159 to be available when the kernel driver is loaded. Firmware can be obtained from 1160 <ulink url="http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/"> 1161 Linux Firmware</ulink>, either by cloning from 1162 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git 1163 or by using a Linux Firmware source tarball from a distro. See "Kernel 1164 Configuration for additional firmware" below. 1156 For Direct Rendering to work with newer Radeon Cards (R300 and later chipsets), 1157 you need to enable the r300, r600 and radeonsi Gallium drivers at 1158 <xref linkend="mesalib"/> build time.

Download any firmware 1249 for your card which is named like: 1250 <filename><replaceable><ENGINEERING_NAME></replaceable>_rlc.bin</filename>, 1251 etc. Note that for R600 and R700 family, generic 1252 <filename>R600_rlc.bin</filename> and <filename>R700_rlc.bin</filename> are 1253 necesary in adition to the model specific firmware, while for later generations 1254 (Evergreen, "Northern Islands" and probably "Southern Islands") you need the 1255 <filename>BTC_rlc.bin</filename> in adition to the model specific firmware. 1256 Below is an example for Radeon HD6470, which is "Northern Islands" GPU with a 1257 network card that also requires the firmware: 1258 </para> 1259 1260 <screen><literal>CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/BTC_rlc.bin radeon/CAICOS_mc.bin radeon/CAICOS_me.bin radeon/CAICOS_pfp.bin radeon/CAICOS_smc.bin rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw" 1261 CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"</literal></screen> 1262 1263 <tip> 1264 <para> 1265 You can check <command>dmesg</command> output after boot to see which firmware 1266 is missing. 1267 </para> 1268 </tip> 1250 1269 1251 1270 <indexterm zone="xorg-ati-driver xorg-ati-firmware-kernel">
