Bug#856821: closed by Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> (Re: Bug#856821: firmware-linux-nonfree: romheaders of R420_cp.bin for ati x800 xt agp gfx card in package not OK.)
Hi Ben,
Thanks for the reply. Do you think you could show me the steps to obtain gpu microcode for my card via, say, dmidecode, and inject that to get gpu acceleration? Surely there must be some reasonable shortcut short of going heavy into the kernel source. And if, in fact that's necess, is there a patch? I recognize G5's are passé, but I like the system.
There is certainly some bugginess going on, can't cp the vga bios from sys/devices without a kernel breach alert after echoing 1....etc.
Thank you
