I have a:
Lenovo Y520-15KIBA *CPU Intel i5*
with GPU AMD Radeon RX560
linux kernel 4.20.47-custom (with bloobs of new firmware 1.175) DRM is 3.27.0
also kernel 4.17-generic is in the grub
I want to know how and if it is possible to setup a 10-amdgpu.conf file in a manner that my amdgpu is not showing errors like or at least give some glxgears output better than 1 FPS:
> dmesg | grep amdgpu
[ 1.558902] [drm] amdgpu kernel modesetting enabled.
[ 1.559324] amdgpu 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0003)

> DRI_PRIME=0 | grep -B
Vendor: Intel Open Source Technology Center (0x8086)
Device: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 (Kaby Lake GT2) (0x591b)
Version: 18.2.8
> DRI_PRIME=1 | grep -B
Vendor: X.Org (0x1002)
Device: Radeon RX 560 Series (POLARIS11, DRM 3.27.0, 4.20.17-custom, LLVM 7
Testing my card with
> DRI_PRIME=1 glxgears
gives me 0.7 (sic!) frames per second and causes system freeze
therefore I think the card is not working properly
i have tried 2019 April with:
- drivers from amd ./amdgpu-install + pro on LMDE3, Linux Mint 19 ubuntu 18.04.1 18.04.2 (amd version 17.40, 18.x and 19.10) (each fresh install)
- mesa ppa oibaf Mint 19 Ubunut 18
- mesa ppa miguel Mint 19 (install failed) and Ubuntu 18
- somehow I was able to run mesa 19 on ubuntu 18 did not make a difference in glxgears
- custom kernel build 4.20. 5.0.6 5.0.8 5.0.9 LMDE3
- rocm on linux mint19 -I always did a video group usermod *see below
- I tried various xorg.confs
- various vulkan installs and mesa-opencl-icd
*
> sudo usermod -a -G video $LOGNAME
The standard configuration looks like:
> sudo pico /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "AMDgpu"
MatchDriver "amdgpu"
Driver "amdgpu"
EndSection
and is working out.
Section "Device"
is not working out (gives a black screen) and I want to know why. I hope to get better performance, when using **"Device"** and adding it to **"Screen Section"**
