AMDGPU driver

English Hardware
1

Can anybody tell me how to get the system to use the open source amdgpu driver, as after running :

inxi -Gaz

the output is :

Graphics: Device-1: AMD Renoir vendor: Lenovo driver: N/A bus ID: 07:00.0 chip ID: 1002:1636

Any ideas, please?

Package xf86-video-amdgpu-18.1.0-lp152.2.5.x86_64.rpm is installed.

Thanks in advance

Hi
The kernel in openSUSE Leap 15.2 is too old to support the newer card. AFAIK you will need to look at trying the kernel from Kernel:stable repository…

3

Try to use amdgpu-pro driver.
You will get OpenCL support.

No problems with Tumbleweed:

You may try Live Tumbleweed and consider switching if successful.

Please do not embarrass immature minds.
OP is using new AMD Renoir, and you are using old AMD Lexa Pro.

6

That’s why I said ‘if successful’. Anyway:

Tumbleweed and Leap have a bad bug, which prevents from suspending to RAM while all other distributions checked work well. Aside from this I experienced no problems.

7

Please post the output of –

 # lsmod | grep -iE 'amd|radeon'

You may have to simply execute “modprobe amdgpu” …

Which “Renoir” processor do you have?

[HR][/HR]This machine is running Leap 15.2 on an AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon Vega Graphics – Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Picasso …

  • Yes, “Renoir
    ” succeeds “Picasso” but, AFAICS, they’re both Vega 11 – the Ryzen 5 3400G is definitely a “Vega 11” device …
8

Thanks, I will try the modprobe route and see if that works.

I have a Ryzen 5 4650U which is a Vega 6 AFAIK.

9

Thanks, I have tried that, but it simply crashes X. No video output.

10

Nope, the modprobe doesn’t help, but thanks for the suggestion.

We used to have SaX2 to reconfigure X which was useful. I really dislike a system that tries to be “clever” and autodetect only.

Is there no tool like SaX2 anymore?

11

Nope – we’re slowly returning to the original UNIX® world – install it and run it …

12

Then, you’ll need at least a version 5.8 Linux Kernel – better a version 5.10 Kernel …

[HR][/HR]Bottom line:

  • AMD Renoir needs Tumbleweed – Linux Kernel version 5.10 – actually currently version 5.10.4 …
13

Disable ATI driver.
3200G suspends Ok.

14

TW or Leap with a new kernel.

Thanks for all the input guys. I ended up re-installing with tumbleweed. Unfortunately tumbleweed doesn’t seem to suppot hibernation, which leap does? Go figure!

Thanks again.

Any ideas, please?

I am running leap 15.2 on a HP 855 G7 . Leap 15.2 and I believe 15.3 provide a 5.3 kernel . There were other issues such as the buttons on the touchpad did not work. After much fumbling I added the stable kernel repository - https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/ . This provided : kernel-default-5.10.14-1.1.g0a69f62.x86_64 . Now I can use the HDMI port and the touchpad buttons.

18

Just guessing you may need newer firmware than that provided by 15.2 with 5.10.14. Did you try the 15.3 kernel and kernel-firmware before 5.10.14? Are xf86-video-amdgpu and libdrm_amdgpu1 installed? Does /etc/X11/xorg.conf exist? If yes, what does it contain? Does any /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*amdgpu.conf or *device.conf file exist that specifies any specific device driver? The URL resulting from

susepaste -n dml12 /var/log/Xorg.0.log

might lead us to clues what’s going wrong.

With current Linux Kernels, Leap and Tumbleweed, when UEFI Secure Boot is active, the Kernel is “locked down” – meaning, currently, Hibernation doesn’t work – due to the Swap space not being encrypted …

Unfortunately, the “kernel_lockdown” man (7) page isn’t normally installed on Leap systems but, it’s available here … https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/kernel_lockdown.7.html.
Please take note of the following entry in the man page –


       • Unencrypted hibernation/suspend to swap are disallowed as the
         kernel image is saved to a medium that can then be accessed.

I have always disabled UEFI secure mode on all machines I use. I actually hate UEFI but we are being herded like sheep to the slaughter on this ****. So I cripple it as much as possible. Which is why I also disable TPM or the AMD equivalent if possible as well.

But thanks for that info, very helpful.
