%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ xorg-amdgpu-driver The Xorg AMDGPU Driver package contains the X.Org Video Driver for newer AMD Radeon video cards starting from Volcanic Islands. It can also be used for Southern and Sea Islands if the experimental support was enabled in the kernel. &lfs10_checked; For Direct Rendering to work, you need to enable the radeonsi Gallium driver at build time. Also, all cards require Firmware to be available when the kernel driver is loaded. Firmware can be obtained from . See below for additional firmware. Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &xorg-amdgpu-driver-md5sum; Download size: &xorg-amdgpu-driver-size; Estimated disk space required: &xorg-amdgpu-driver-buildsize; Estimated build time: &xorg-amdgpu-driver-time; Xorg AMDGPU Driver Dependencies Required (must be built with glamor enabled) User Notes: Enable the following options in the kernel configuration and recompile the kernel if necessary: Device Drivers ---> Graphics support ---> <*> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 ... support) ---> [CONFIG_DRM] <*/M> AMD GPU [CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU] < /*> Enable amdgpu support for SI parts [CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_SI] < /*> Enable amdgpu support for CIK parts [CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_CIK] The last two options enable experimental support for Southern and Sea Islands AMD GPUs so they can be used with this driver. Note that the support is marked experimental and disabled by default. should be used for those GPUs. xorg-amdgpu-driver If you need to add firmware, install the file(s) and then point to them in the kernel configuration and recompile the kernel if necessary. To find out which firmware you need, consult the Decoder ring for engineering vs marketing names. Download any firmware for your card which is named like: <ENGINEERING_NAME>_rlc.bin, etc. Below is an example for Radeon R7 M340 GPU, which is codenamed Iceland/Topaz, along with a network card that also requires the firmware: CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="amdgpu/topaz_ce.bin amdgpu/topaz_k_smc.bin amdgpu/topaz_mc.bin amdgpu/topaz_me.bin amdgpu/topaz_mec2.bin amdgpu/topaz_mec.bin amdgpu/topaz_pfp.bin amdgpu/topaz_rlc.bin amdgpu/topaz_sdma1.bin amdgpu/topaz_sdma.bin amdgpu/topaz_smc.bin rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw" CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware" CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE should all be on one line. It is shown above as multiple lines for presentation only. You can check dmesg output after boot to see which firmware is missing. Alternatively, if you change CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU to '=m' in your linux kernel .config the firmware can be loaded automatically from /lib/firmware/amdgpu/ when it installs the module. This offers a tiny space saving, but also means that the screen will be blank for a longer time before the framebuffer appears. Distros take this approach because it is not practical to specify every possible firmware and the kernel would be excessively big. xorg-amdgpu-firmware First, adapt the Xorg AMDGPU Driver to changes in GCC-10: sed -i 's/^miPointerSpriteFuncRec/extern &/' src/drmmode_display.h Install Xorg AMDGPU Driver by running the following commands: ./configure $XORG_CONFIG && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install Installed Xorg Driver  amdgpu_drv.so Short Descriptions amdgpu_drv.so is an Xorg video driver for latest AMD Radeon video cards. amdgpu_drv.so
