Bug#687955: release-notes: AMD graphic cards/chips: firmware-linux-nonfree needed for most cards



Package: release-notes
Severity: normal

Dear Debian folks,


without the non-free firmware from the package firmware-linux-nonfree
installed, most systems based on AMD graphics devices/chips have
problems with suspend to RAM, start up (wait for over a minute if
firmware cannot be found) or do not even work at all [1].

The need to install this package should be documented in the release
notes.


Thanks,

Paul
