Do you mean by editing the source and recompile the Linux kernel? An option would be great for drm modules (?) to disable loading of firmware. Could this be implemented for all modules or does it have to be coded up each module separately? > The ucode is required for acceleration and interrupts, so it's > recommended if you want to be able to fully utilize the hardware. For the use case right now the performance is good enough. Being a laptop I would only be interested in saving power. Is there a difference when the firmware is used? Thank you for your instant response, Paul
