Can I use a Vulkan?

English Applications

I have a graphics card of the AMD Turks generation in my computer. I want to use a Vulkan. In the parameters of the system, I observe error messages, given in the screenshot. https://www.susepaste.org/28086933
What is my problem?

@Arbichev:

On this system, the Vulkan support is behaving perfectly:

Do you have the following AMD related packages installed?

  • kernel-firmware-amdgpu
  • libdrm_amdgpu1
  • ucode-amd
  • xf86-video-amdgpu

Sounds like you need to blacklist radeon driver.

For request “vulkaninfo” get the following answer:

ERROR: …/src/amd/vulkan/radv_device.c:691] Code 0 : Device ‘/dev/dri/renderD129’ is not using the AMDGPU kernel driver: Invalid argument (VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER)

Therefore, as “ arvidjaar” suggests, you need to check that, the “amdgpu” driver is being used.

  • The ArchWiki article is the complete and definite guide to setting up your system to load the “amdgpu” driver rather than the Radeon driver.
  • You’ll need to inspect the X.Org Radeon feature to determine if the “Turks” GPU is “Southern Islands” (SI) or “Sea Islands” (CIK) – <https://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/&gt;.

[HR][/HR]Bad news:

  • “Turks” is a “Northern Islands
    ” GPU – <RadeonFeature. - And, the amdgpu driver doesn’t support “Northern Islands” GPUs – <RadeonFeature.

Therefore, “Vulkan” isn’t supported – you have to use the “radeon” driver, which doesn’t support “Vulkan”.

The situation is clear. Thanks for the detailed answer.

There is another point as well –
