If I boot my computer with my AMD video card bound to a driver besides amdgpu (like vfio-pci for my Windows virtual machine), then unbind it from that driver, intending to bind to to amdgpu for Linux gaming... EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: I can unbind, remove the card, rescan (echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan), then bind the card to amdgpu, using DRI3 and the DRI_PRIME variable for games. This is a process that some successfully do with the radeon driver on older AMD cards. ACTUAL BEHAVIOR: At the moment that I rescan (echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan), X crashes and restarts, booting me back to the login screen, and something (I guess either the kernel or X) has automatically bound the card to amdgpu on its own, without me entering those echo commands (echo "<card's vendor ID>" "<card's device ID>" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/amdgpu/new_id) to bind it. DESIRED BEHAVIOR: I can get my card bound to amdgpu, whether it's automatic or by my own typed bind commands, WITHOUT a boot-me-to-login- screen X crash. The X crash log is at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=228411 The crash, starting at [456.336], has no errors. It seems to be just reconfiguring the graphics because it noticed a new available card, and somehow that resulted in me being booted back to the login screen. The log that was made after the crash, when I logged back in, is at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=228421 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg- server/+bug/1792932/comments/0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2016-08-12T13:52:38+00:00 Alexdeucher wrote: Please attach your dmesg output from after you load the amdgpu driver.

BTW, for DRI3 PRIME there's no need for X to do anything with the card directly, so you can prevent it from trying and crashing with Section "ServerFlags" Option "AutoAddGPU" "off" EndSection in /etc/X11/xorg.conf as a workaround.

Turning AutoAddGPU off completely fixed the problem, and didn't work the way I expected. With it off, my computer still automatically binds the card to amdgpu as soon as I rescan, so I guess that's a quirk of the kernel or amdgpu, but X takes the card in with no crash. It works as seamlessly as it's supposed to, and I can once again use DRI_PRIME to access the card. I'll turn it back off to get the error output (because there is none when I'm using this perfectly fine workaround), which I figured out is not in my Xorg logs (https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1322277), and upload that now.

I have debian all set up to debug this. I even tested the whole debugging process without amdgpu running and it went swimmingly. But, as soon as I put in my 20-amdgpu.conf file, X crashes, because it can't grab my card from pci-stub, but in order to test this bug, I *need* to boot up the machine with the card bound to pci-stub. It's because for some reason, in Arch Linux, X is OK with loading amdgpu without finding a usable card, but in debian, not finding a card makes it freak out, even though Ignore is set to true.

I suspect the problem is that this Device section makes Xorg try to use the amdgpu driver for all GPUs, and not fall back to any other drivers. I'm not sure why this section would be necessary anyway; Xorg should automatically try to use the amdgpu driver (if it's installed correctly) for any GPUs controlled by the amdgpu kernel driver, and fall back to other drivers. If the above doesn't help you overcome this issue, please attach the full Xorg log files from Arch and Debian.

I'll test it again on my own Arch system with that set up properly and AutoAddGPU turned back on, then test it in debian on DRI3 but without that amdgpu conf file.
