 |
|
hey, i'm new to gentoo and kernel compliation in general.
i managed to get gentoo installed and running no problem, however, i now want to install X.
according to the handbook, to get video card support, i need to configure the kernel as shown:
(Setup the kernel to use the radeon-ucode firmware)
Device Drivers --->
Generic Driver Options --->
[*] Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary
# RadeonHD 5000, a.k.a Evergreen, and newer cards:
(radeon/CEDAR_me.bin radeon/CEDAR_pfp.bin radeon/CEDAR_rlc.bin
radeon/CYPRESS_me.bin radeon/CYPRESS_pfp.bin radeon/CYPRESS_rlc.bin
radeon/JUNIPER_me.bin radeon/JUNIPER_pfp.bin radeon/JUNIPER_rlc.bin
radeon/REDWOOD_me.bin radeon/REDWOOD_pfp.bin
radeon/REDWOOD_rlc.bin) External firmware blobs
what exactly do i need to do with the files in brackets?
i'd appreciate some help. cheers

| Code: | | emerge radeon-ucode |
then in menuconfig under
| Quote: | Device Drivers --->
Generic Driver Options --->
[*] Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary |
select | Quote: | | () External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary |
which will produce a dialog looking like
| Quote: | External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary
Please enter a string value. Use the <TAB> key to move from the input
field to the buttons below it.
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ |
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
< Ok > < Help > |
Type | Quote: | radeon/CEDAR_me.bin radeon/CEDAR_pfp.bin radeon/CEDAR_rlc.bin
radeon/CYPRESS_me.bin radeon/CYPRESS_pfp.bin radeon/CYPRESS_rlc.bin
radeon/JUNIPER_me.bin radeon/JUNIPER_pfp.bin radeon/JUNIPER_rlc.bin
radeon/REDWOOD_me.bin radeon/REDWOOD_pfp.bin
radeon/REDWOOD_rlc.bin |
into the dialog. After you exit the dialog an additional line | Quote: | | (firmware) Firmware blobs root directory (NEW) |
should be present.
