Tested these updates on multiple different systems making use of several of these firmwares.  All OK.  These are good to go.

- kernel-firmware-20160409-1.mga5.noarch
- kernel-firmware-nonfree-20160516-1.mga5.nonfree.noarch

Comment 3 Brian Rockwell 2016-05-28 13:05:21 CEST 
updated and rebooted

video card:  Description: âRS780L [Radeon 3000]

Working properly from what I can tell.

fyi - this doesn't show up in the Mageia QA list.
Comment 4 Lewis Smith 2016-05-28 20:43:27 CEST 
M5 x64 real hardware
Installed updates from the package list, without problems:
 kernel-firmware-20160409-1.mga5
 radeon-firmware-20160516-1.mga5.nonfree
Always having since system installation Nonfree enabled, I do not know why:
 kernel-firmware-nonfree-20160516-1.mga5.nonfree.noarch.rpm
is missing. Is it likely to matter?
