True AMDGPU is meant to be the future kernel 4.8, 4.9 and on.
yeah that makes sense. ok, im gonna do that and document it every step. i really wanna get this working and have a guide ready so people can install that driver more easily.
that is the biggest problem. there are a lot of different things you have to install before you can mess with the amd driver. the correct kernel is one of them and in that special case some say so some say other. 4.4 vs. 4.8-??.
but we'll get there.
When the open stack becomes fully featured it will not even be an issue any more. Newer kernel newer driver and it might not even need the PRO to get good performance. And i am sure that AMD will eventually streamline the PRO driver when that becomes fully featured.
Didn't apple use the M275X in something recently? I thought they had used it... I managed to run El Capitan on my laptop and in my mac pro it uses AMDGPU to run my 370 when its in there. But on my y40-70 it doesn't know what it is.... Then again I guess it IS basically a 250X in a laptop so I don't expect too much from it....
Hmmm maybe thin needs some digging if I am going to do this.
maybe i missed it but what are you going to do again? hackintosh with amd?
and btw: newer macs will use amd graphics inside the intel chip.
Yeah OSX El Cap or Sierra on Lenovo y40-70
No KB or mouse control so thats to be done first, then I have to do wifi. Then sound and GPU last.
a little upgrade since over the holidays and new years and such I took some time off of Linux and PC stuff in general.
I reinstalled the AMD GPU-pro driver und did every fix, still no improvements.
I'm gonna try it this again with kernel 4.7 but I don't think that that will work.
Could we make a list what is needed to support the driver?
You need a 'new' kernel 4.7 - 4.X
a card that is compatible,
Ubuntu, Arch, Mint, seem to work (mostly).
I sorta feel the urge to move to arch and try again because I don't see anyway I can get it to work on ubuntu. while writing this post I searched for hours again for some fixes and I have tried everything from reinstalling, different kernel versions video group user, dkms-reconfiguring (still gives errors in 4.8 & 4.7), driver install with overwriting etc.
I really don't mind the whole fiddling but I don't get where the fudge the error is and how to attack that error. that is very unsatisfactory.
the last straw I'm thinking about right now is something with the x11|xorg|xserver thing. is there some option that works against the driver or stops it from operating?

so the driver is in use and the card is detected but i still cannot fix tearing i cannot set xrandr to 75hz (crashes and needs a reboot) and i cannot play my beloved rocket league

Anyone else getting system crash after joining a community csgo server with custom map?
My computer fully locks up and I have to force hardware reboot.
The game has been broken since the last update 3 days ago. Matchmaking has been down, CEVO and FACEIT don't always connect. Its a shitty game I don't get why people play it.
Well even with latest gallium/mesa certain games are currently broken for me (e.g., Tyranny). I get random green screen flicker that doesn't happen if I'm running my integrated graphics.
Apparently there are issues with Mesa and the latest Unreal Engine 4 as well. Which is frustrating because I enjoy starting that up from time to time just to derp around. Looking at you Tim Sweeney! 0_0
I just ordered an NVidia card instead. I just don't find having to mess with this stuff interesting. Maybe once the dust settles I'll try AMD again but for now they've lost me.
http://wccftech.com/amd-confirms-ryzen-cpus-unlocked-overclocking/
We summarized the key takeaways and announcements in several points :
All AMD Ryzen CPUs will be multiplier unlocked and ready for overclocking right out of the box.There are no locked Ryzen CPUs.
AM4 X370, X300 and B350 chipsets all support overclocking.
Ryzen CPUs will come in different configurations with varying core counts.The highest core count parts will have eight cores and support sixteen threads.
Ryzen will launch closer to the middle of Q1 or early Q1 rather than the end of Q1. AMD wouldnât give us a specific date but sometime in February is a good bet.
AM4 compatible aftermarket air and liquid cooling solutions will be available on day one.
So much better then penalizing overclockers
YEAH INTEL GOOOOD
