How to load 'radeondrm-firmware'?

Amarildo · 05-26-2015, 06:32 PM

Hello,

I'm trying to make my radeondrm firmware to load but apparently it won't. X recognizes the Pitcairn, but disables acceleration, because the required firmware will apparently not load.

Code:

[    18.587] (WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
[    18.587] (II) RADEON(0): Acceleration disabled

The firmware is installed ($ pkg_info):

Code:

radeondrm-firmware-20131002p0 firmware binary images for radeondrm(4) driver

Code:

# fw_update radeondrm-firmware                
# fw_update -v                 
Path to firmware: http://firmware.openbsd.org/firmware/5.7/
Updating: radeondrm-firmware-20131002p0 malo-firmware-1.4p3 ipw-firmware-1.3p2 bwi-firmware-1.4p3 upgt-firmware-1.1p3 rsu-firmware-1.2p0 iwn-firmware-5.11p1 otus-firmware-1.0p1 uath-firmware-2.0p1 pgt-firmware-1.2p3 iwi-firmware-3.1p2 iwm-firmware-0.20141130p0 athn-firmware-1.1p1 uvideo-firmware-1.2p1 acx-firmware-1.4p4 wpi-firmware-3.2p1 urtwn-firmware-1.1p2
# fw_update radeondrm-firmware                
#

I'm new to OpenBSD, haven't used it for more than one hour. How can I make the firmware to load?

Did you reboot, as that is when firmware drivers get loaded(?).

Yes, and even though dmesg didn`t say anything else about not loading them, 3D acceleration wasn't good. I guess I'll just have to wait a few years.
