Newcons radeonkms - Failed to load firmware "radeonkmsfw_TURKS_PFP"

[Miguel Clara]

I was looking at the HP specs and they don't mention PowerExpress
technology fro this model:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02787061

This is the card: http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6770M.43955.0.html

Is there any way I can now for sure how the Output connectors are well
connected beside opening it...?
