Yeah, I wouldn't use the proprietary AMD drivers. Jim, undo whatever it is that you did with the amdgpu-pro drivers and install the "xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu" (if you're on debian or a debian based distro, which I assume you are based on the mentioning of a deb package) and restart. That should be all you need.
If you're wanting hardware video acceleration you can also install the following packages: mesa-va-drivers vdpau-driver-all Those are listed on this wiki page: https://wiki.debian.org/HardwareVideoAcceleration On Fri, Apr 5, 2024, at 3:29 PM, z via PLUG-discuss wrote: > I also don't think I made it clear that mesa is probably better than the > proprietary AMD drivers on linux.
