well, today i (partially) realized why my basic drivers don’t work: the preinstalled packages amdgpu and amdgpu-dkms seem to not work due to amdgpu-dkms being unconfigured. tried configuring it and got the same error. around about there my system stopped using even the iGPU and i had to uninstall some other drivers (thanks @[email protected] )
Which distro are you using? AMD has been completely plug-and-play for me.
Kbuntu 22.04 w/ radeon R9 M360
Have you enabled Southern Islands support as a kernel parameter? Your generation of GPU was originally supported on
radeon, so you need to explicitly enable SI (Southern Islands) support to useamdgpu.See ArchWiki for more information
Ill try that, thanks! I’m just distrohopping to Kinoite, and ill try it then if it doesn’t work.
My R9 390 was a huge pain in the ass to get working on any distro, but I think it was the last card before they fixed whatever issue it was.
Yeah, afaik it’s exactly one of the cards that require manual intervention or a switch to the radeon driver. Bad generation to run on Linux.
Yeeeah :(
