libdrm-2.4.80

[ken@…]

Release announcement for 2.4.79 is at e.g. ​https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2017-April/138561.html -

 Marek Olšák (1):
      configure.ac: bump version for release

Samuel Pitoiset (1):
      amdgpu: allow to query GPU sensor related information

git tag: libdrm-2.4.79

Since we don't (yet) support amdgpu, no problem with holding off for this version but it's nice to have release notes.

I don't mind getting an amdgpu board that fills this need. Can someone suggest a good one?

[ken@…]

AFAICS, the native amdgpu "chipsets" are Polaris and later. I'm thinking about getting one, with a Ryzen, later this year - but for me the initial problem is that they are all DisplayPort (and HDMI), my current monitor is D-Sub so it will probably be some time before I get things sorted.

I bet Douglas knows more about this, but I was thinking about getting a low-end RX460. No idea which are "best", but see ​https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Radeon_400_series. There are reports from December of a Polaris 12, but I can't see any articles that identify which AMD model, or manufacturers' cards, are Polaris 12.

And in theory my Kaveri can probably run amdgpu, but for that radeon is the preferred stable driver.

Christian Gmeiner (1):
