Debian 11 non-free missing firmware on Radeon install

[fernandocesarpinto]

Hi, I installed Debian 11 RC 1 and followed the steps here to install AMD/Radeon Graphics. After running:

Code: Select all

apt-get install firmware-amd-graphics libgl1-mesa-dri libglx-mesa0 mesa-vulkan-drivers xserver-xorg-video-all

I got the following output:

How can I check these packages are working fine?

It's an issue where the driver knows about the firmware requirements for upcoming hardware and for some reason wants to warn you about even if you don't have the hardware. I've been seeing it (and ignoring it) in testing for months.

If everything works, ignore the warning: you don't need firmware for hardware you don't have.

To check for genuinely missing firmware:

Code: Select all

$ dmesg | grep firmware
