 Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2013 10:39 pm Post subject: Include in-kernel firmware - missing [SOLVED] |
 |
|
oi, noob here,
I am trying to install X on my new box,
but I have a kernel issue:
e.g. from here: www.wiki.gento.org/wiki/Radeon
I should have like so:
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
Generic Driver Options --->
-*- Userspace firmware loading support
[*] Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary
(radeon/<YOUR-MODEL>.bin)
(/lib/firmware) Firmware blobs root directory |
and I have like so
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
Generic Driver Options --->
-*- Userspace firmware loading support
[*] Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary |
(picture http://shrani.si/f/11/av/2LL1kwD/scrot20130116231822.png )
so no last part.
I gather that last part should appear when I emerge radeon-ucode,
but I have done so:
| Code: | kishta linux # emerge radeon-ucode -pv
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] x11-drivers/radeon-ucode-20120320 0 kB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB |
I am linux fan, and I do not know what I am missing here.
Help appretiated.
Thank you

select
| Quote: | | () External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary |
and hit enter
in the dialog box that appears type the name of the firmware used by your card.
hit ok
| Quote: | | (firmware) Firmware blobs root directory (NEW) |
will appear. Select it and enter. Edit to.

hello there DONAHUE
sorry for delayed response,
I was bussy emerging and configuring my X and wm and right now I am in the middle of configuring my appsrc files.
Anyway, your explanation hit the spot!
If I may say, as noob gentoo user,
your post should be up there in those handbooks,
since I could not figure that one out,
and There are a lot of us, noobs, out there
Thank you again for your support!
