I think you need:

CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y

Configured into your kernel.

Have a look at your dmesg output. It should have your Radeon card
version listed. Mine is a Radeon REDWOOD chip.

Here's my kernel config relating to building firmware into the kernel:

(ignore the fact that I wastefully build in all the chip versions other
than the REDWOOD)

CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/REDWOOD_pfp.bin radeon/REDWOOD_rlc.bin \
radeon/REDWOOD_me.bin radeon/CEDAR_pfp.bin radeon/CEDAR_rlc.bin \
radeon/CEDAR_me.bin radeon/CYPRESS_me.bin radeon/CYPRESS_pfp.bin \
radeon/CYPRESS_rlc.bin radeon/JUNIPER_me.bin radeon/JUNIPER_pfp.bin \
radeon/JUNIPER_rlc.bin carl9170-1.fw"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"

Thank you, I'll try.  Hope it will be success...

Oh, I should use RV710, that is really a long distance from R600/R700.So should I add RV710_rlc.bin into External firmware blobs ?

I have checked my Xorg.0.log, there is no error message. I have a question,I read xorg.conf , I didn't find any area about Window Manage, so how xorg-server knowswhich WM to invoke when I use "X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf" ?BTW, among my class I am the only one who uses Linux, so it's impossible to use ssh.
