I just installed Tumbleweed to new hardware. Info Center says my graphics processor is llvmpipe
The results of inxi -G are:

When I look online, I am told that the amdgpu driver should work for the Radeon 9070 XT. When I check my installed software, kernel-firmware-amdgpu 20260225-1.1 is installed. What file do I edit to tell the OS to use that driver for that card? Is the information in opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_graphics_cards sufficiently current?
inxi -GSaz would be more useful. It may be the Aspeed is being defaulted to but without any KMS driver available. lsmod | grep video, dmesg | grep drm and journalctl -b -p3 may also be useful pasted here.
When you paste command output here, please begin your copy with the command line, end with the following prompt line, and enclose the paste within PRE tags (</> icon above input window)'.
I don’t see anything that looks like Aspeed in the kernel’s drm directory to support it, which explains driver: N/A for it, and so little in lsmod output. With the AMD as primary or only, all drivers it needs ought to automatically load.
Have you looked in firmware setup for something that prefers use of the AMD GPU over the Aspeed?
ASRock’s BIOS setup for the WRX90 WS EVO seems fairly sparse compared to many I’ve seen. I don’t see anything related to PCI cards. There’s a displayport connector directly off the motherboard that I believe is for managerial use. I think ASPEED graphics is for use with that. I’m going to try a little resarch on the “amdgpu 0000:f3:00.0: probe with driver amdgpu failed with error -22” Since f3:00.0 is the bus id of the graphics card, maybe this failure is why it’s not in use.
Some of the stuff I have seen relating to error --22 also seems to be related to switching to different graphics hardware. I looked again in the BIOS settings and found “Turn Off Onboard VGA” and below it, priority was already given to PCI card graphics. I turned it off, and not too much changed. Here’s the new results.
