Package: firmware-linux-nonfree
Version: 0.28+squeeze1
Severity: normal
Hi,
after installing firmware-linux-nonfree I still had errors in dmesg with kernel
3.0.8:
[ 898.849606] radeon 0000:01:00.0: radeon: using MSI.
[ 898.849706] [drm] radeon: irq initialized.
[ 898.849719] [drm] GART: num cpu pages 131072, num gpu pages 131072
[ 898.851091] [drm] Loading CAICOS Microcode
[ 898.884786] ni_cp: Failed to load firmware "radeon/CAICOS_pfp.bin"
[ 898.884791] [drm:evergreen_startup] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware!
so I asked google about it, found a slackware package with firmware...
953 sudo cp -a lib/firmware/radeon/CAICOS_pfp.bin /lib/firmware/radeon/
957 sudo cp -a lib/firmware/radeon/CAICOS_me.bin /lib/firmware/radeon/
961 sudo cp -a lib/firmware/radeon/BTC_rlc.bin /lib/firmware/radeon/
965 sudo cp -a lib/firmware/radeon/CAICOS_mc.bin /lib/firmware/radeon/
Could You please include these firmware files in firmware-linux-nonfree?
Now for some more tries about "vga_switcheroo" and turning the non-used not-
supported DIScrete graphics card off...
Kind regards,
Dominik

Version: 0.29
The kernel version in 'squeeze' doesn't support acceleration for these
chips so the firmware is not packaged for squeeze either. You'll need
to get a newer firmware-linux-nonfree package (0.29 or later) from
testing, unstable or squeeze-backports.
Ben.
