TW's X11 and userspace should be ready (sans bugs). If you want to test, Takashi provides a kernel that has full-DRM enabled at
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/tiwai:/simpledrm/
If you install and boot the kernel, you should ideally see no difference. Once booted the hardware's driver will do the graphics output. To test if you booted with generic DRM, do
dmesg | grep drm
on the command line. The output should mention 'simpledrm' somewhere.
Again nada for 'simpledrm' on radeon: # inxi -SGayz System: Kernel: 5.15.11-5.g730a488-default x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 11.2.1 parameters: root=/dev/sda10 noresume mitigations=auto consoleblank=0 net.ifnames=0 ipv6.disable=1 5 Console: pty pts/0 wm: Twin DM: TDM Distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20211224 Graphics: Device-1: AMD Caicos [Radeon HD 6450/7450/8450 / R5 230 OEM] vendor: Dell driver: radeon v: kernel bus-ID: 01:00.0 chip-ID: 1002:6779 class-ID: 0300 Display: server: X.org 1.21.1.2 driver: loaded: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa alternate: ati Message: Advanced graphics data unavailable for root. # dmesg | grep -i simple [ 0.387699] Simple Boot Flag at 0x7a set to 0x80 # dmesg | grep -i drm [ 3.898146] systemd[1]: Starting Load Kernel Module drm...
