For Radeons, that's only true for older cards without ATOM BIOS, basically anything older than Radeon X1xxx. So this shouldn't be a problem for a Radeon HD 5450, but there might be other issues, e.g. the drivers in the stable release might be too old to properly support that card. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
