Hi to all of you on the debian-user list.
Is anyone out there successfully running any of the Radeon RX 6000
Series graphics cards on Debian-11 (Bullseye) installations with *no*
backports?
I ask the above question because I can't see the required versions of
"Navi" firmware; namely "Navi 21" to "Navi 24", available in the package
"firmware-amd-graphics". Probably a silly question, however I'm asking
anyhow.
Cheers in hope,
BRN.
I think you'll need backports, if I remember correctly. I have 6800 XT,
been running stable with backports since I bought it, it's working very
well. Card will work without backports but you may have no 3D
acceleration. Adding backports repo and upgrading kernel + drivers is
very easy.
Since then I've upgraded to Testing out of curiosity, but it was not
necessary, it works just as well as before. Once Debian Bookworm is
released, I most likely will stay with it during stable cycle, I prefer
stability of the software over freshness (with extra bugs).
