You were quicker than me :-)

Checklist for other video cards (e.g. Intel) is as follows:
- X.org driver,
- kernel driver.

Checklist for amd is as follows:
- X.org driver,
- kernel driver,
- firmware.

You can download firmware by executing:
Code:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
Copy the radeon folder to /lib/firmware and reboot.

You do not have BTC_rlc.bin and many others, which I have. Get the firmware, and replace the radeon folder with the new one downloaded by you.

Yes I was downloading the git as I posted. After doing the git, I could see that I now had a lot more.

I rebooted, and it works!

Thanks!
