Re: [gentoo-user] Issues with amdgpu driver: Compositor hangs, sysfs not working
AMDGPU-PRO is not a driver, but a set of libraries containing opencl,vulkan and advanced media framework. It operates on top of amdgpu. Mesa is the open source implementation of OpenGL, Vulkan, et al. graphics API specifications. If you are using proprietary AMD drivers then I understand all the graphics API instructions will go through these proprietary drivers, instead of being translated by Mesa. As you said, it could be seen as an alternative to mesa, but will not change anything about the firmware or the amdgpu driver. It therefore will not change anything about the framebuffer, since this is handled by the driver. That said, I do not have the described problems when starting gamescope from a tty, so my guess now is that its a Hyprland issue. I filed a bug there. I will also try to start Hyprland using amdgpu-pro instead of mesa. Thank you for your time

I have an older AMD card here, using amdgpu only. If I disable DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION I lose my framebuffer and end up with a black screen. When the sddm display manager starts I have a GUI again to login to Plasma with. This is to be expected in my case, because I rely on the KMS driver (KMS FB helpers) to provide a framebuffer device. Unless an AMD proprietary driver is available via amdgpu-pro to substitute for the KMS FB emulation, then you won't get a framebuffer device to render your tty console. > > It could be both.

I am not sure how the fbdev emulation in the kernel works with the amdgpu-pro when combined with Hyprland. Have you tried a different compositor to see how it compares. If your problem is caused by some Hyprland bug, you'd soon know. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: [gentoo-user] Issues with amdgpu driver: Compositor hangs, sysfs not working
Thank you for your reply. Hello everybody, I installed an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX today, switching from Nvidia. But once I enable FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY=y to have a tty once the driver is up, the following happens: 1) My Wayland compositor (Hyprland) takes very long to start. 2) reading from sysfs (e.g. running "cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/gpu_busy_percent") does not work and causes a hang. Once I disable FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY=n, I have no issues with the starting speed of the compositors at all and the mentioned command works. But this leads to a black tty. You'd normally need this enabled to get a fb display on the console, but I don't know if this would be provided by proprietary drivers instead for your card - see below. I made a mistake here, sorry. The issue causing setting is DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION=y, which on itself works with the open source driver, but causes issues as soon as I start Hyprland. It could be both. I don't think there's any Linux firmware released yet for this card - but I don't follow the latest & greatest so I could be wrong.

[gentoo-user] Issues with amdgpu driver: Compositor hangs, sysfs not working
Hello everybody, I installed an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX today, switching from Nvidia. But once I enable FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY=y to have a tty once the driver is up, the following happens: 1) My Wayland compositor (Hyprland) takes very long to start. 2) reading from sysfs (e.g. running "cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/gpu_busy_percent") does not work and causes a hang. Once I disable FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY=n, I have no issues with the starting speed of the compositors at all and the mentioned command works. But this leads to a black tty. The only two error messages from amdgpu I find in dmesg are: [ 66.757500] amdgpu :03:00.0: amdgpu: SMU: I'm not done with your previous command: SMN_C2PMSG_66:0x0029 SMN_C2PMSG_82:0x [ 66.757502] amdgpu :03:00.0: amdgpu: Failed to disable gfxoff! and [ 870.087856] amdgpu :03:00.0: amdgpu: SMU: I'm not done with your previous command: SMN_C2PMSG_66:0x0029 SMN_C2PMSG_82:0x [ 870.087858] amdgpu :03:00.0: amdgpu: Failed to export SMU metrics table! Did I forget anything or is this a bug?
