ATI/AMD Radeon GPUs require some microcode for 3D acceleration, which is
loaded by the radeon driver and is packaged in firmware-linux-nonfree.
However, following Debian policy the kernel packages do not depend on or
recommend this package.  All other functionality of the radeon driver
(including suspend/resume) should be available without the 3D microcode
installed.
