The firmware for radeon has always been proprietary, but you only need it f=
or
acceleration.

Pure modesetting should still work without. The problem is that we rarely t=
est
without the firmware, so this breaks from time to time.

Since your bug sounds like an external display still works I would expect t=
hat
acceleration actually works perfectly fine. So the firmware most likely isn=
't
the cause of the problem.

I would rather guess that it is an issue with the newer kernel. Please try
downgrading that one first and see if you can find a working version. Then
bisect from those two points in time.
