Problem with Graphics Card

[Stevo]

Only "possibly missing". How is the card working right now? Quick System Info should tell us.

It appears we can backport the latest firmware to add at least of few of those--let me see if another packager has those in ahs-staging.

It seems to be working fine.

Related to this, I have a RX 6800 XT running MX19.4 AHS. Running sudo update-initramfs -u, I see:

Should I go and get these firmware files?

No need to get those firmware files. Those drivers will probably be included with either the next kernel update or the one after depending when AMD releases drivers for these GPUs. Your RX 6800 XT GPU probably doesn't even need those firmware files. As stated above in this thread these missing firmware errors are just warnings since AMD hasn't released drivers for these GPUs yet.

@Dayan welcome to the forum. Please read the forum rules, start a new topic rather than bumping someone else's to ask for help, and put system information in code tags (use the </> button in the forum editor) not quote tags. And don't forget to run the Quick System Info application then right-click paste (don't copy/paste, just paste) in your new topic. Thanks.
