 |
|
Hi,
I have a Radeon HD 6310 card in my laptop.
So I tried to follow the instruction found here.
On the "Kernel->General" it says to turn on:
| Code: |
[*] Enable modesetting on radeon by default
|
but that option is nowhere to be found. I tried to do a search by typing "/", but didn't find anything with that prompt.
I activated other 2 options there and turned on "Support for frame buffer devices ->ATI Radeon display support" and also turned on "DDC/I2C for ATI Radeon support" and "Support for backlight control" and moved on.
Next I turned on "Device Drivers -> Generic Driver Options -> Userspace firmware loading support", "Device Drivers -> Generic Driver Options -> Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary", entered "radeon/PALM_me.bin" for the firmware and tried to re-build the kernel.
Make failed with the error "No rule to build "radeon/PALM_me.bin".
Any idea what I did wrong?
Thank you. |

| Code: | CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/PALM_me.bin radeon/PALM_pfp.bin radeon/SUMO_uvd.bin radeon/SUMO_rlc.bin"
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y |
Disable all other framebuffer options, they're obsolete. |

Hi,
My kernel config file can be seen here: https://paste.pound-python.org/show/w8IVmulAtV6DEL81bwaf/.
And with it I still get following:
[quote]
No rule to make target /lib/firmware/radeon/PALM_me.bin, needed by firmware/radeon/PALM_me.bin.gen.o
[/code]
Thank you. |

Hi,
No.
I thought I don't need it for kernel built-in.
Will install now.
Thank you. |

Hi,
OK, I installed linux-firmware and kernel compiled successfully.
But I still don't have a framebuffer on the Terminal.
Thank you. |

ONEEYEMAN,
Are you using the kernel you think you are?
What does tell?

NeddySeagoon,
Yes, you are correct. I set "noauto" in /etc.fstab for the boot partition and didn't mount it prior to kernel installing.
Thank you. |
