Quite so. I learnt it the hard way that the proprietary drivers are hard to set up correctly last year for Tumbleweed. Don't really want to repeat the experience.
openSUSE Tumbleweed has newer xorg version 1.18 than is supported by the driver at the moment. AMD drivers supports version up to 1.17. See AMD release note: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDRadeonSoftwareCrimsonEditi... """" Before attempting to install the AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 15.12 Proprietary Linux Graphics Driver, the following software must be installed: Xorg/Xserver 7.4 and above (up to 1.17) Linux kernel 2.6 or above (up to 3.19) glibc version 2.2 or 2.3 POSIX Shared Memory (/dev/shm) support is required for 3D applications """ If you want to use TW and AMD proprietary drivers, you can add repos from Leap 42.1, downgrade xorg and related packages. Lock downgraded packages, remove Leap repos, install driver and reboot. You will have unsupported "hybrid" system, but it will work. Here is the list of packages which should downgraded and locked: $ zypper ll # | Name | Type | Repository ---+-----------------------+---------+----------- 1 | xorg-x11-server | package | (any) 2 | xf86-input-evdev | package | (any) 3 | xf86-input-joystick | package | (any) 4 | xf86-input-keyboard | package | (any) 5 | xf86-input-mouse | package | (any) 6 | xf86-input-synaptics | package | (any) 7 | xf86-input-vmmouse | package | (any) 8 | xf86-input-void | package | (any) 9 | xf86-input-wacom | package | (any) 10 | xf86-video-ati | package | (any) 11 | xf86-video-fbdev | package | (any) 12 | xf86-video-vesa | package | (any) 13 | xorg-x11-driver-input | package | (any) 14 | xorg-x11-driver-video | package | (any) See the comment from Sebastian on page: https://www.sebastian-siebert.de/2015/12/05/opensuse-proprietaeren-grafik-tr... I have ASUS 380x and above thing works :) (having crossed fingers each tw update) If you want to use amdgpu driver, check following bug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=956181 Basically create file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf with: Section "OutputClass" Identifier "AMDgpu" MatchDriver "amdgpu" Driver "amdgpu" EndSection This will help X11 to detect amdgpu card and solve mouse issue etc... (of course 3D performance will be very, very poor) Regards, Petr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
