ATI kernel firmware:

Hi,
I have some problems with kernel firmware (2.6.33-1 from testing). On boot an error appears:

[drm:rv770_startup] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware!

My video card is ATI Radeon HD4570.

X.org server is booting normally, without errors, but i haven't 3d acceleration in games etc...

Any ideas?

P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

Re: ATI kernel firmware:

maybe you need radeon-ucode : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33016

and then rebuild initrd: sudo mkinitcpio -p kernel26

have you add radeon to MODULES line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf?
