I used to build the firmware in (stage one : find build options which let me use Xorg; stage two : do not change what works) and have obviously now moved away from that.
The CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE line is almost-certainly NOT required: just dump all the radeon firmware in /lib/firmware/radeon and let the kernel decide. Apologies to people who have probably told me that over the past year, but I'm reluctant to break what worked. Will try to schedule a build to check that. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early.
