X-Plane stating Gallium driver stack. AMDGPU should be installed.

Greetings:

I'm new to Arch but not to Linux.  I'm trying to get X-Plane 10.51 running. Here is the setup  I have.

MSI Z170A MB
i7-6700k
AMD RX 480

I've got XFCE4 up and running.  I have loaded xf86-video-amdgpu.  I believe xorg is configured to use the AMDGPU driver.  However when I run X-Plane I receive and error about not supporting the Gallium stack.  My understanding is Gallium is for the Intel graphics, and thus if AMDGPU is loaded, I'm unsure why X-Plane isn't using AMDGPU.

This is my Xorg.0.log

This is the contents of /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/

This is the X-Plane error message

I'm trying to be concise, please be kind if I've missed something obvious.

Thank you for your assistance.

:edit:

My understanding is catalyst is their proprietary driver, that I shouldn't need it, and that it doesn't play well with xorg 1.18.

Looks like only Catalyst is officially supported by X-Plane 10: http://steamcommunity.com/app/292180/di … 785361495/ You could try the commandline parameter to force it to run on Mesa though.

Greetings, thank you for your reply.

For what it's worth, I'm running X-Plane directly from it's binary, purchase from Laminar Research, not via Steam.  (Side note, I'm still playing around with getting Steam to work, it'll load, but graphical issues.)  That said, catalyst might still be a requirement.

Looking at that link though to the X-Plane forums, might be able to sort something out.  Thanks.

If you bought XP 10 from LR directly, I think you will get a free upgrade to XP 11 in February. Perhaps the Linux driver situation is improved in XP 11? AMDGPU did not really exist in 2014 when XP 10 was first released, so it's not that surprising it is not supported.
