Yes, other than the Intel microcode I followed the Gentoo Wiki page for my graphics card: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon > For radeon/R700_rlc.bin > $ find /lib/firmware/ -name \*R700\* > /lib/firmware/radeon/R700_rlc.bin > > For radeon/RV730_smc.bin > $ find /lib/firmware/ -name \*RV730\* > /lib/firmware/radeon/RV730_pfp.bin > /lib/firmware/radeon/RV730_smc.bin > /lib/firmware/radeon/RV730_me.bin > > For adeon/RV710_uvd.bin > $ find /lib/firmware/ -name \*RV710\* > /lib/firmware/radeon/RV710_me.bin > /lib/firmware/radeon/RV710_pfp.bin > /lib/firmware/radeon/RV710_smc.bin > /lib/firmware/radeon/RV710_uvd.bin > > So it looks like you're trying to load firmware from three different > models.
