Firstly, AMD has released amdgpu-pro 18.10 (for rhel and supports Ubuntu 16.04.4):

Secondly, I'm still having the DRM version issue, and I have come across a post on reddit about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/vulkan/comments/4idouk/problem_with_vulkan_on_amd_linux/ More specifically the comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/vulkan/comments/4idouk/problem_with_vulkan_on_amd_linux/d2xc4ta/ where the issue seems to have to do with the driver that's in use by linux (radeon) rather than amdgpu: amdgpu has version 3.1.0: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/32cf95db22d49cf4a3b421ba9fd156bb5f920ebb/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_drv.c#L49-L56 and radeon has version 2.43: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/32cf95db22d49cf4a3b421ba9fd156bb5f920ebb/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_drv.c#L95-L99 In Addition, the reddit user talks about having `CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_CIK=y` set to 'y' to enable support for the GPU in amdgpu driver (this requires manually compiling the linux kernel, as the default has this setting off). You can check if your currently running kernel has this option: grep CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_CIK /boot/config* And checking what driver is actually in use by linux: lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' So the question is how to get the amdgpu driver to load in place of radeon ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696231 Title: amdgpu needed blacklisting of radeon module To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1696231/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
