Hi everyone,
I just installed Debian Buster with KDE Plasma on a notebook that has an AMD Radeon 6490M and an Intel HD Graphics 3000 installed. The installation (text-based) worked fine, however, after rebooting, I just get a tty, X won't start. When checking dmesg for any errors, I found:
[drm:radeon_pci_probe [radeon]] *ERROR* radeon kernel modesetting for R600 or later requires firmware installedXorg furthermore listed errors like this:
[ 14.666] (II) FBDEV(4): using default device [ 14.682] (II) modeset(G0): using drv /dev/dri/card0 [ 14.682] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section. [ 14.682] (II) UnloadModule: "radeon" [ 14.682] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section. [ 14.682] (II) UnloadModule: "modesetting" [ 14.682] (EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section. [ 14.682] (II) UnloadModule: "fbdev" [ 14.682] (II) UnloadSubModule: "fbdevhw" [ 14.682] (EE) Fatal server error: [ 14.683] (EE) Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all framebuffer devices
So I searched the internet and found several sources that recommended installation of
firmware-amd-graphics
from non-free. I installed that package, but afterwards the system won't boot at all - it only displays "loading initial ramdisk" and then the screen goes black.
Any ideas on how to get graphics output on that machine? I don't even need the radeon graphics, the integrated Intel graphics would be okay for a start as well. My full Xorg.0.log and my dmesg are attached here and here.. Thanks a lot in advance for any ideas!
Kind regards,
