Hi all,
How can I check that the microcode is being loaded by a radeon
HD5770 graphics card?
I have used "https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon"; to set it up, but
there is nothing in dmesg about loading the firmware like you see with
the cpu microcode - the card works without the firmware
And I would like to add that sometimes you don't have a choice - if
someone who is paying you says to use zoom, there is no choice - but I
would rather use gentoo than fire up the MS laptop..
What gentoo can do is mitigate the risk - which I need to look into to
see whats done in the ebuild ov
