rc67fbf64 ra6d9935c 1157 1157 you will need to enable building of r300, r600 and radeonsi Gallium drivers in 1158 1158 <xref linkend="mesalib"/> instructions. Also, some cards will require Firmware 1159 to be available when kernel driver is loaded. Firmware can be obtained from 1160 <ulink url="git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git"> 1161 Linux Firmware Repository</ulink>. 1159 to be available when the kernel driver is loaded.
