I'm using amdgpu (obs compiled amdgpu kmp and later xf86-video-amdgpu) with a R5 Mullins card on a DELL Inspiron 5555 laptop and it runs great.
The amdgpu driver is installed already, but lsmod indicates that the radeon driver is loaded.
~> lsmod | grep radeon radeon 1601536 3 i2c_algo_bit 16384 1 radeon drm_kms_helper 155648 1 radeon ttm 106496 1 radeon drm 393216 13 ttm,drm_kms_helper,radeon
How would I switch this?
Jon Cosby Hi Create 20-amdgpu.conf and 50-radeon.conf files containing;
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf; Section "Device" Identifier "AMD Graphics Core Next GPU" Driver "amdgpu" Option "DRI" "3" Option "TearFree" "true" EndSection cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-radeon.conf; blacklist radeon Rebuild initrd; mkinitrd If it doesn't work you may need the later xf86-video-amdgpu as well. What is the engineering name of your card (lspci output)? If it's GCN 1.0 series, may need to wait until 4.10 kernel... https://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/ -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE Leap 42.1|GNOME 3.16.2|4.1.34-33-default up 2 days 13:13, 3 users, load average: 0.04, 0.10, 0.12 CPU AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 635 @ 2.90GHz | GPU Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org
