#2

Hi
Perhaps stuck on radeon…

Can you post the output from;


/sbin/lspci -nnk | egrep -A3 "VGA|Display|3D"

You mean vkquake?

Hi
Can you check and install xf86-video-amdgpu and add the following grub boot options;


amdgpu.cik_support=1 amdgpu.si_support=0

Rebuild initrd just to be sure;


mkinitrd
systemctl reboot

Then check to output from the previous lspci command to see if it changed from radeon to amdgpu in the output.

#5

xf86-video-amdgpu is installed.
grub2 is configured with amdgpu.cik_support=1 amdgpu.si_support=0

mkinitrd
systemctl reboot
done

But still i did not get start doom its say its runing but i did not see any window of it?

Still get:

0a:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Tahiti XT [Radeon HD 7970/8970 OEM / R9 280X] [1002:6798]
        Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Device [1462:2775]
        Kernel driver in use: radeon
        Kernel modules: radeon, amdgpu
#6

Hi
OK, switch them around;


amdgpu.cik_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1
#7

Its get overwrited, i did not understand it
sure that i can edit file?
sudo nano /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

#8

Hi
You use YaST bootloader, or if manually editing you must edit;


nano /etc/default/grub

Edit the “GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT” line, then once saved run;


grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

What you are doing is switching the card support from sea island (cik) to southern island (si).

Hi
Likely due to the repositories, if you use;


zypper -vvv dup

This will show more info on what it is doing/not doing.

Anyway, let’s not worry about that for the moment, can you edit the grub file I indicated and run the command to rebuild grub, reboot and show the lspci information again.

#13

Still got the same result, try to sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf add blacklist radeon but it did not help.
Any idea?

#14

Its works now after a upgrade of distribution.

#15

Hello. It is my first time using Opensuse and I feel like I have a problem similar to that reported by the author of the topic. Yesterday I installed the Dolphin emulator and couldn’t use Vulkan as a backend, so I tried to follow the same steps, but I’m having problems after editing the grub configuration.

Here is my lspci output

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Pitcairn PRO [Radeon HD 7850 / R7 265 / R9 270 1024SP] [1002:6819]
        Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device [1458:2553]
        Kernel driver in use: radeon
        Kernel modules: radeon, amdgpu

xf86-video-amdgpu is already installed

So I edited “etc/default/grub” and added the line amdgpu.cik_support = 1 amdgpu.si_support = 0 at the end of file and save. When running mkinitrd, i got this error:

What am I doing wrong? I’m adding the line in the wrong place; editing the wrong file, the missing firmware on line 11 is the problem or am I missing something? Any help will be aprecciate.

#16

You put terms at the end of the linelinux or linuxefir not the end of the file

#17

Remove those added lines.

The run Yast bootloader. Add your parameters to the kernel command line parameters (use the “Kernel Parameters” tab to find that).

Like this?

#19

Yes, like that.

#20

I might be wrong, but it seems to me that you shouldn’t have spaces before or after the “=” sign. example: "amdgpu.cik_support = 1 amdgpu.si_support = 0" should be “amdgpu.c​ik_support=1 amdgpu.si_support=0”. Like I said, I might be wrong about this.
