Radeon RX 5500 - libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

English Hardware

I am having trouble running hardware acceleration and openGL on my computer.
I have installed the latest amdgpu-pro drivers, unfortunately I don’t know what else to do. I am not a very advanced openSUSE user. Please help.
I’m running:

Try to update AMD driver, X11, firmware files.
Try to use Mesa 3D drivers.

Glxinfo and hwinfo --gfxcard don’t say enough of what matters about hardware or software in use. Please be sure xdpyinfo is installed and post input & output from Konsole or Xterm or equivalent running:

inxi -Gay

If inxi complains about the y it’s because you’re using an old inxi version, so try without it or upgrade it from upstream. Also please upload /var/log/Xorg.0.log using the susepaste command or by going to http://susepaste.org/ or http://pastebin.com/.

Thanks for your answers. Additional information from my system below.

(EE) AMDGPU(0): drmmode_do_crtc_dpms cannot get last vblank counter

repeats several times in the log. There should be only one line containing (EE). All others are errors.

driver: amdgpu,ati
indicates the Radeon DDX could be complicit in the problem. Remove it:

sudo zypper rm xf86-video-ati xorg-x11-driver-video
sudo zypper al xf86-video-ati

We don’t know precisely which IGP or GPU you have because your inxi omitted options a and xx, either of which which would have provided its device ID.

Did you have the same problem using the FOSS AMDGPU driver provided by standard openSUSE repos?

Removing xf86-video-ati xorg-x11-driver-video and rebooting will not change it.
If I remove the amdgpu-pro driver then openGL seems to work fine, unfortunately I have a very low screen resolution and refresh rate of 30Hz.

Will not, or did not?

If I remove the amdgpu-pro driver then openGL seems to work fine, unfortunately I have a very low screen resolution and refresh rate of 30Hz.
This should not be. Low resolution usually means hardware too new for support by software in standard repos, or KMS is not engaged. Not engaged is a common result of an installation that required a troubleshooting boot option (e.g. nomodeset) retained by the installed system.

My interest was in identifying its technological age, which the marketing-speak, as with the published specifications, helps with not:

My mistake. I meant, of course, that when I removed the driver, nothing changed.

Solution:

./amdgpu-install --uninstall
./amdgpu-install --opencl=pal,legacy
reboot

Does OpenCL work with Radeon RX 5500?
AMD have semi-official OpenCL support for Navi.
Please test with clinfo, clpeak, Luxmark, FAH Bench, Blender benchmark.
For Blender benchmark with Leap 15.2 use CLI version or run it with
