According to https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon the RV740 needs

Code:
radeon/R700_rlc.bin radeon/RV740_smc.bin radeon/RV710_uvd.bin


But I can't seem to find these in my kernel (4.0.5-gentoo):

Code:
linux # ls firmware/radeon/RV*.bin
firmware/radeon/RV610_me.bin   firmware/radeon/RV670_me.bin
firmware/radeon/RV610_pfp.bin  firmware/radeon/RV670_pfp.bin
firmware/radeon/RV620_me.bin   firmware/radeon/RV710_me.bin
firmware/radeon/RV620_pfp.bin  firmware/radeon/RV710_pfp.bin
firmware/radeon/RV630_me.bin   firmware/radeon/RV730_me.bin
firmware/radeon/RV630_pfp.bin  firmware/radeon/RV730_pfp.bin
firmware/radeon/RV635_me.bin   firmware/radeon/RV770_me.bin
firmware/radeon/RV635_pfp.bin  firmware/radeon/RV770_pfp.bin



Which firmware should I use?

My board:

Code:
< 04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV740 PRO [Radeon HD 4770]

Also I get this during boot:

Code:
 # dmesg |grep radeon | grep firmware
[    1.206025] radeon 0000:04:00.0: Direct firmware load for radeon/R700_rlc.bin failed with error -2
# ls -l /lib/firmware/radeon/R700_rlc.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jul 28 18:02 /lib/firmware/radeon/R700_rlc.bin

I have a machine with HD4670. This one uses RV730XT.
I needed to include the following firmware blobs into kernel(Device Drivers->Generic Driver Options->Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary):
Code:
radeon/R700_rlc.bin radeon/RV710_uvd.bin radeon/RV730_smc.bin


Looking at your chipset and the fimware directory I guess you need the following fimware blobs:
Code:
radeon/R700_rlc.bin radeon/RV710_uvd.bin radeon/RV740_smc.bin


greetings

P.S. And don't forget to set the (/lib/firmware) Firmware blobs root directory option :!:

Thanks, with that list of firmware the kernel issues seem to be resolved.

However, xorg does not seem to work. In /var/log/Xorg.0.log I observe:

Code:
[   718.626] (II) xfree86: Adding drm device (/dev/dri/card0)
[   718.628] (--) PCI: (0:4:0:0) 1002:94b3:1043:0310 rev 0, Mem @ 0xe0000000/268435456, 0xfb320000/65536, I/O @ 0x0000e000/256, BIOS @ 0x????????/131072

...

[   718.630] (II) RADEON: Driver for ATI Radeon chipsets:

...
        HAWAII, HAWAII, HAWAII, HAWAII, HAWAII
[   718.632] (--) using VT number 7
[   718.639] (II) [KMS] Kernel modesetting enabled.
[   718.639] (EE) No devices detected.


I would have expected something like "RADEON(0): Creating default Display subsection in Screen section"

Adding a BusID resolved the last problem:

Code:
# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/radeon.conf
Section "Device"
    BusID       "PCI:4:0:0"
    Identifier  "radeon"
    Driver      "radeon"
EndSection

Yeah that list of blobs is hard to guess. I remember myself searching a lot to find the right answers.
