Bug#532040: firmware-linux: Request for new version to contain Radeon R600 firmware
Package: firmware-linux
Version: 0.16
Severity: normal
This is a request for a new version of the firmware-linux package, for
kernels 2.6.30.
I need the file radeon/RV620_cp.bin containing new firmware for AMD
video cards, which is
shipped with the standard kernel.
Because of bug #523467 I need to run a locally compiled 2.6.30 kernel to
have good
2D performance. I want to run the kernel from kernel archive server, but
those lack
this firmware file. I am sorry for using the bug tracker as a support
forum, but until now I
haven't found out how to generate the file myself.
