Bug 997598

Created attachment 787019 [details]
Xorg log file

Description of problem:

I have a XFX labelled Radeon HD 7790 (Sea Islands / BONAIRE) which I'd like to use with the open driver, accelerated and with 2 screens.

I was under the impression that BONAIRE was supported in F19. But;

- BONAIRE_*.bin files are missing from /usr/lib/firmware/radeon/ (I've seen Bugs 988263 and 988268 , can I even expect this to work with 3.10.5-201.fc19.x86_64 ?)

- second screen remains stubbornly off.

- neither BONAIRE nor 7790 nor ISLAND seem to be among the long list of chipsets listed after "(II) RADEON: Driver for ATI Radeon chipsets:"

- VESA picks up the card (see attached Xorg log )

Maybe my impression is simply wrong and I need to use rawhide. With the F20 branch coming Soon™, I guess I'd wait until then if this GPU is VESA only in F19.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
  xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.1.0-5.20130408git6e74aacc5.fc19.x86_64
  linux-firmware-20130724-28.git31f6b30.fc19.noarch
  3.10.5-201.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install F19 (incl. updates or yum update after install)
2. start into graphical target
?. do tell if you would like me to try the nomodeset kernel command line option.

Actual results:
VESA is used

Expected results:
(by order of preference[1])
- both screens usable
- radeon is used
- ideally also the radeonsi and glamor niceness

Additional info:
[1] the computer in question has enough bang to be usable even if the CPU has to do some heavy lifting for my graphics experience in F19 ;-)

I have no wish to use the closed source fglrx.
