[SOLVED] Remove screen tearing on AMD FirePro W2100....

HI Guys.. I have an AMD FirePro W2100 that is running on a fully up-to-date XFCE with the lts kernel. The card has two display port connectors that I have connected both my monitors to. One monitor is landscape, and the other is vertical. Screen tearing is still present on both monitors, even after creating "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf" and adding in whats pasted below.

20-amdgpu.conf

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "AMD"
    MatchDriver "amdgpu"
    Driver "amdgpu"
    Option "TearFree" "true"
    Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
EndSection

What I have installed:

xf86-video-amdgpu vulkan-radeon libva-mesa-driver lib32-libva-mesa-driver mesa lib32-mesa

lspci -k | grep -A 3 -E "(VGA|3D)"

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Oland GL [FirePro W2100]
	Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 2120
	Kernel driver in use: radeon
	Kernel modules: radeon, amdgpu

/etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf

options amdgpu si_support=1

/etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf

options radeon blacklist
options radeon si_support=0

/etc/mkinitcpio.conf

HOOKS=(base udev autodetect microcode modconf kms keyboard keymap consolefont block filesystems fsck)
MODULES=(amdgpu radeon)

Any help with completely removing screen tearing would be greatly appreciated....

SOLVED

For some reason, the radeon driver was still being loaded before the amdgpu. After checking over everything multiple times, the amdgpu driver is now loaded first, and screen tearing is no more.

lspci -k | grep -A 3 -E "(VGA|3D)"

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Oland GL [FirePro W2100]

	Kernel driver in use: amdgpu
	Kernel modules: radeon, amdgpu
