This patch means the same apparently goes for probably goes for amdgpu? If there are amdgpu systems that cannot boot the installer otherwise, this is enough reason for this patch and this patch is a good idea. What Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli wrote at indicates that non-3d graphics works for some radeon/amdgpu GPUs, because the code that prevents booting could be removed from linux-libre for these GPUs. If so (and it didn=E2=80=99t work for one GPU of mine even though it is listed as freed at libreplanet), these amdgpu ones would get a lower screen resolution from uvesafb if this patch were added. But it is worth the trade-off. However, Mathieu Othacehe writes: > the radeon, amdgpu, r128 and mga DRM drivers are probably relying on > firmware loading.

Back then when we blacklisted radeon, we chose to wait for a report of amdgpu not working instead of adding amdgpu to the blacklist right away. Maybe booting is not broken there? Regards, Florian
