## AMDGPU
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From gentoo wiki one should use AMDGPU e.g. for:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> AMD Zen 2 "4000" series 7nm laptop APUs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### AMDGPU (mandatory packages)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* archwiki -> AMDGPU -> Installation
|
|
|
|
|
* archwiki -> Xorg -> AMD
|
|
|
|
|
* archwiki -> Lenovo-IdeaPad-S540-13ARE (Ryzen 7 4800U CPU)
|
|
|
|
|
* archwiki -> Hardware_video_acceleration -> ATI/AMD
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* HW-video-accel verification:
|
|
|
|
|
* run `vainfo` and `vdpauinfo` as non-root
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* `amdgpu` module
|
2021-05-24 16:46:15 +02:00
|
|
|
* https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU#Loading
|
|
|
|
|
* The amdgpu kernel module is supposed to load automatically
|
|
|
|
|
on system boot.
|
|
|
|
|
* It is possible it loads, but late, after the X server requires it.
|
|
|
|
|
In this case:
|
|
|
|
|
* Include "amdgpu" in MODULES=(...) of `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf`
|
|
|
|
|
* https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU#Specify_the_correct_module_order
|
|
|
|
|
* `amdgpu` before `radeon`

**Verification**:
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```shell
|

|
lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|

```
|
|
|
|
|
Kernel driver in use: amdgpu

### AMDGPU PRO (optional packages)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* archwiki -> AMDGPU#AMDGPU_PRO
|
|
|
|
|
* archwiki -> AMDGPU_PRO
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
The `amdgpu-pro-installer` contains proprietary components for
|
2021-05-05 16:20:25 +02:00
|
|
|
AMDGPU (it works on top of AMDGPU).
|
|
