 |

Hi,
I lucky have EeePC 1215B with E450 and readeon HD 6320. I try setup fresh gentoo I have slite problem with readeon. I genkernel gentoo-sources-3.1.6 with splash=livecd-2007.0 and res=1366x768. Looks like fb working (but how to check current resolution I dont have X yet). My grub.conf:
| Code: | title=Gentoo Linux (3.1.6-gentoo) test01
root (hd0,6)
kernel (hd0,4)/kernel-316test01-x86_64-3.1.6-gentoo radeon.modeset=1 vga=791 rootfstype=ext4 root=/dev/sda7 splash=silent,theme:livecd-2007.0 console=tty1 quiet
initrd (hd0,4)/initramfs-316test01-x86_64-3.1.6-gentoo |
But just after kernel boots I see:
| Quote: | | Can't load cfg: //etc/splash/livecd-2007.0/1024x768.cfg |
Yes, ther are two '//'?
Then, splash shows up, so I miss pre-splash (when you have to hit Alt-F1 to see console)
I'm not sure how to setup kernel param, I heard vga= is out-of-date, but when I remove it I don't have fb for sure.
I compile kernel with KMS so, how can I specify resolution. I try:
| Code: | video=1366x768-24@60
video=VGA-1:1366x768-24@60
video=radeondrmfb:1366x768-24@60,ywrap,mtrr:3 |
Last probably isn't best idea. With all that options I get 'splash error: 256' |

Then KMS is not set up correctly. Did you compile radeon as module or built-in? Compile it as module, and install the linux-firmware package. If you later want radeon built-in, you need to figure out which firmware you need and compile also that into the kernel. Do a forum search there's more than one thread with instructions on that. |

"video=VGA-1:1366x768M@60" should work there. If not, something else is wrong.
"radeon.modeset" is already implied by CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS.
The "vga" option does not belong there.
You need x11-drivers/radeon-ucode, and you usually need the firmware built the same way as radeondrmfb for KMS fbcon to work (i.e. compiled in if the driver is built in) |

radeon is compiled as module and I emerge x11-drivers/radeon-ucode as well. So, I assume better solution is built-in since framebuffer need to be start just after kernels starts to boot?
Follow wiki: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon

I need one PALM*, SUMO* or SUMO2*? But which one? |

I noticted:
| Code: | Module Size Used by
brcmsmac 564277 0
brcmutil 6344 1 brcmsmac
scsi_wait_scan 711 0
pata_atiixp 3841 0
pata_amd 10996 0 |
and after 'modprobe radeon'
| Code: | Module Size Used by
radeon 965335 1
ttm 52279 1 radeon
drm_kms_helper 24620 1 radeon
brcmsmac 564277 0
brcmutil 6344 1 brcmsmac
scsi_wait_scan 711 0
pata_atiixp 3841 0
pata_amd 10996 0 |
Now I got 1366x768 not 1024x768 so I add:
| Code: | modules="radeon"
module_radeon_args="modeset=1" |
to /etc/conf.d/modules
Please take a look (collected after modprobe radeon):
| Code: | dmesg | grep radeon

So looks nice, but after reboot I got ugly 80x25, until radeon module is loaded:

Here is full dmesg

and kernel config

So maybe I need built-in radeon and firmware into kernel? But which one, I can't see in dmesg

You didn't look carefully enough, it's there: | Code: | | [ 169.485170] [drm] Loading PALM Microcode |

Yes, after posting I noticed it!
But, should I add both of them: PALM_me.bin PALM_pfp.bin
| Code: | CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/PALM_pfp.bin radeon/PALM_me.bin"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware/" |
space or comma separated? |

I've tried:
| Code: | CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/PALM_pfp.bin"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware/" |
and
| Code: | CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/PALM_me.bin"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware/" |
Both didnt work  I have 80x25 some messages regerding initialization of radeon and drm then i see somethig 'switching timer source tsc' and lcd is full of crap.
Recompile radeon as module works. |

Hey...
got the same problem. I got it solved, I think. You have to add more of the firmware. I went crazy about that until i decided to add other fimware blobs to be built into the kernel. Your post directed me to this, because you got the right resolution on module-loading. PALM is not enough. I added all Fusion-microcode to the kernel:
Fusion (BTC): radeon/BTC_rlc.bin
Fusion (Palm): radeon/PALM_me.bin radeon/PALM_pfp.bin
Fusion (Sumo): radeon/SUMO_me.bin radeon/SUMO_pfp.bin radeon/SUMO_rlc.bin
Fusion (Sumo2): radeon/SUMO2_me.bin radeon/SUMO2_pfp.bin
Source: http://de.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Radeon
Just add them all spereated by whitespaces. I still think not all of them are really necessary but i'm a little tired testing. Maybe another day.
Let me know if it works for you, please.
Best regards

Add all firmware that may be relevant, separated by whitespaces. |

Thanks for the guess. As far as I understand, the problem is that HD 6320 needs SUMO (just as it is here), but the chip is defined as PALM. My system boots with only SUMO and PALM enabled (PALM seems to somehow require/activate parts of SUMO). |
