dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore x86 Imported Extensions

Xorg...log shows it is defaulting to using VESA..not ati radeon

<< < (3/3)

Jason W:
Actually, it appears that firmware needs to be kernel specific.  Of course, anyone correct me if I am wrong.  In this case, I will make firmware packages with the prefix firmware-* for dCore, and ignore the Debian ones.  The Debian ones may work, but we will use the Tinycore ones to be sure.  I will get to this soon.

curaga:
No, the firmware is hw-specific for most devices, only some wireless firmware keeps changing the format and thus depending on kernel version. Even in that wireless case, installing all the files won't harm, as they have different filenames.

Jason W:
Ok, thanks for clearing that up.  I hardly use firmware myself so not a subject I have spent much time on. 

gwalther:
Jason....the radeon video firmware looks like it is included in wireless.sce according to wireless.sce.lst.  The one my video card needs is /lib/firmware/radeon/R520_cp.bin...something to note.

Jason W:
Ok, I will check it out.
