Hi,
First of all sorry for my bay English.
I have a ATi Radeon HD4890 and I am using Fedora and Debian Sid. In Fedora I have not problems with 3D and gnome-shell runs well.
Instead in Debian I can't run it, even with experimental repos. I don't know if it is important, but I used for the upgrade this command:
Code:
# apt-get install -t experimental gnome-session gnome-video-effects gnome-tweak-tool gnome-terminal gnome-shell gsettings-desktop-schemas gnome-settings-daemon gnome-menus gnome-power-manager gnome-screensaver gnome-search-tool gnome-utils gnome-backgrounds
And when I reboot there was a pop up that said that there were problem with 3D acceleration and so it would be started the fallback mode.
So I remembered what a message at the boot says:
Code:
[ 6.406284] [drm] Loading RV770 Microcode
[ 6.561600] r600_cp: Failed to load firmware "radeon/RV770_pfp.bin"
[ 6.561638] [drm:rv770_startup] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware!
And so I think that the problem is this. Obviously there are other mesages about drm that I attach in the dmesg file.
Someone can help me?
Thank you!
