The firmware for radeon has always been proprietary, but you only need it for acceleration. Pure modesetting should still work without. The problem is that we rarely test without the firmware, so this breaks from time to time. Since your bug sounds like an external display still works I would expect that acceleration actually works perfectly fine. So the firmware most likely isn't the cause of the problem. I would rather guess that it is an issue with the newer kernel. Please try downgrading that one first and see if you can find a working version. Then bisect from those two points in time.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
