+## Addendum 1.5.2024
+
+Updated to kernel 6.6.8, using `MODULES=(amdgpu)` in `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf`
+produces a working framebuffer. Atlernatively using `nomodeset` results
+also in a working text output during boot and switching to graphical mode
+works. Xorg just works using the RADEON driver (xf86-video-ati). The machine
+got a lot more boring (from a hacker perspective). ;-)
+
+I found setting the backlight brightness to be the next challenge, so far no
+tool I tried worked..
