Issue solved after the firmware-amd-graphics installation. 1366x768 initialized automatically and shows up in KDE "Displays" settings.

Really appreciate it!

Monti

Edit:
And running smooth

Info to read here, ref. https://packages.debian.org/buster/firmware-realtek

The package ...
Source: firmware-nonfree

I hope this helps.

That file is probably in one of the other firware packages. Or the system was too slow to load it in time for the message. IMHO

edit.
I have it (the module and header, not the firmware) here on my system

glenn@asus-r552jv:~$ locate r8169
/lib/modules/5.10.0-7-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.ko
/lib/modules/5.10.0-8-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.ko
/usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.0-8-amd64/include/config/r8169.h
glenn@asus-r552jv:~$ 

When I do it like this I don't get any errors:

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf non-free contrib 
deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf non-free contrib

Though, when executing:

Again thank you for your follow-ups guys. Really appreciate it.

All the best Monti.

The firmware package for AMD graphics cards is called firmware-amd-graphics.

Check dmesg to see if it's loaded and check the X.Org log for errors and to see which DDX drivers you're using. lspci -k will show the loaded kernel drivers.

Thank you very much for your support Head_on_a Stick.

dmesg showed it quite clearly:

[    8.554704] [drm:radeon_pci_probe [radeon]] *ERROR* radeon kernel modesetting for R600 or later requires firmware installed 

My problem now is that I am not successful in entering the non-free repository in sources.list

I have entered it as following:

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf contrib non-free

That said, I wish that a full listing of the repositories available would be listed in the release info page for every Devuan release.

From your post in another thread that I started I have noted that the missing package is "firmware-amd-graphics".

Thanks,
Monti

No I mean /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/something.conf

/etc is where system configfiles lives :-)

Hi

Try to install firmware-linux and firmware-linux-nonfree to get the firmware. It might not solve the problem, but improve performance when you get it to work.

And maybe try with the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-xorg.conf and adapt it to your card.

...

Thanks man!

Interesting that you mention performance enhancement. I've been questioning the not to good performance. Is there a way to install just the proprietary Radeon firmware? I might been under the wrong impression, but I've been thinking that firmware-linux-nonfree is bunch of other stuff too. Please advice.

Edit:
By the way, you actually mean '/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d', right?

Thanks,
Monti

I have just installed Beowulf, but when KDE Plasma starts up screen resolution is 800x600 and not the native 1366x768. I can't remember this being a problem when installing ASCII.

As mentioned in the subject line KDE Displays Settings are not showing options above 800x600.

Please advice.

Adapter is ATI Radeon
