OK.
1. Go to;
Thanks. Then there is no rpm as with NVidia?
But I will not install them yet, I want to know more about pros and cons. If VLC plays (it does in non automatic output), and graphic games play (I tried two and they do play), I prefer not to install proprietary blobs. But it seems the proprietary driver works on top of the open driver - so maybe one doesn't need to install them on every kernel update, and they don't leave them occasionally without graphics.
I just found this:
Open Source AMD:
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AMDGPU https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Radeon
Proprietary AMD:
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AMDGPU-PRO
«AMDGPU-PRO is the next generation closed source graphics component that operates on top of the open source AMDGPU drivers for newer AMD/ATI Radeon graphics cards.»
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AMD_fglrx
«For Radeon GPUs HD 5xxx or above Radeon GPUs HD 4xxx or below should use the open-source radeon driver»
I still have to read them, but I do not know if all of them apply to my hardware.
Just noticed:
«An optional application to monitor the AMD GPU statistics called Radeon-Profile can be installed from the openSUSE Software Site.
https://software.opensuse.org/package/radeon-profile»
Telcontar:~ # cnf radeon-profile radeon-profile: command not found Telcontar:~ #
Ok, it is on home:malcolmlewis:TESTING

It is a GUI app with lots of information and controls, it seems.
There is also a radeon-profile-daemon
Hi carlos, (sorry my mail is now a couple of days old, never finsihed and send, maybe your problem is solved. i send it anyway, maybe it helps - not finsihed mail-) only looking short in this so maybe some ideas: 1) i was (10 years? in past) not able to remove a propetary nvidia driver completely from the system. long story, i installed complete system new. - and never installed any prop-nvidia again, by removing all nvidia hardware out of my systems. if i remember correct (3 weeks in past): there are 3 (opensource) drivers for amd graphic: amdgpu (for new cards) ati radeon somewhere in the web, wikipedia?, i have found a nice list which driver supports what card... but i did not find any more.... sorry so maybe you should switch the driver at your system. my problem was: i have had a hd7770 system without vulkan, driver was radeon. i switched to ati, and vulkan was working (game (lost amber) with vulkan)) i insert into the kernel command line: radeon.cik_support=0 radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 amdgpu.si_support=1 (via yast) from here: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=142110 here some commands to get infos about graphic: drivers are in rpm: xf86-video........ inxi -G vulkaninfo lspci -k glxinfo glxgears (testprogram) fgl_glxgears (testprogram if you have somewhere at the system) glmark2 (opengl2 benchmark) vkmark (vulkan benchmark) new to me: vdpauinfo vainfo -> cnf vainfo (not on my system yet) here my mail not finsihed, missing is new search again for the page i mentioned above, but run out of time, also set the graphic back and send you both inxi -G (radeon and amd) versions. but time is short..... have to work... simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
