Is this amdgpu FAILED a problem worth chasing?
$ inxi Graphics: Device-1: AMD Venus XTX [Radeon HD 8890M / R9 M275X/M375X] driver: amdgpu v: kernel Device-2: Chicony HP HD Camera type: USB driver: uvcvideo Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.8 driver: amdgpu FAILED: ati unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: AMD Radeon R9 M375X (VERDE DRM 3.36.0 5.6.14-1-default LLVM 10.0.0) v: 4.6 Mesa 20.0.7
Inxi is not all that easy for its novice users to interpret with so much info crammed into minimal space. This is how to read its graphics output: ... x11 server: X.Org 1.20.8 driver: amdgpu FAILED: ati unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz ...
That is really helpful feedback. Sounds very logical to me. Thank you!
When amdgpu succeeds, ati shouldn't even be attempted AFAIK. Amdgpu is virtually always preferred wherever it is supported.
Current inxi in TW is 3.1.00-1.
