I downloaded and put in the directory that the guides told me to put it in. Never got detected. Seems like a lot of people are having the same problem.
I can wait for Lucid.

You really want 2.6.33 for KMS.Test signatureComment

... or the Ubuntu Lucid kernel which includes the 2.6.33 kernel graphics code (drm).Test signatureComment

Ya, I used the Ubuntu Lucid kernel. Oh well.Comment

You need the rlc firmware for the irq controller:
[ 1.624935] r600_cp: Failed to load firmware "radeon/R700_rlc.bin"
[ 1.624947] [drm:rv770_startup] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware!
I don't recall whether Karmic had it or not. If you are using an initrd, you'll need to make sure it has the firmware in it. You can grab the firmware here if you don't already have it:

Hmm, I had the firmware in /var/lib/firmware/`uname -r`/radeon/. I also had the linux-firmware package installed. I tried forcing it to load in grub, in modprobe.d, and in the gdm start script, all to no avail.Originally posted by agd5f View PostComment

That would be the linux-firmware package from Lucid, not Karmic.Comment

*Edit* I tried forcing the driver to load with KMS to load in grub, in modprobe.d, and in the gdm start script, all to no avail. Where it was loaded didn't seems to make a difference as the firmware didn't seem to be recongized.Comment

Did you run
sudo update-initramfs -u
after your changes?Comment

Hmm. I did not. That's probably it. No guide I read mentioned doing that.Comment
