amdgpu pro

My V-Card is AMD RX 590.

$ paru -S --skipreview amdgpu-pro-libgl opencl-amd vulkan-amdgpu-pro amf-amdgpu-pro

$ paru -Rdd mesa

$ reboot

Result: black screen with _. What am I doing wrong?

UPD:

$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE  
x11

$ paru -Qs amd     
local/amd-ucode 20210315.3568f96-1
    Microcode update image for AMD CPUs
local/xf86-video-amdgpu 19.1.0-2 (xorg-drivers)
    X.org amdgpu video driver

If i don't remove mesa, then the open source driver is used.

Installed mesa & amdgpu-pro-libgl both:

~ took 15s 
❯ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL vendor string" | cut -f2 -d":" | xargs
Found existing global alias for "| grep". You should use: "G"

Re: amdgpu pro

Well, you're removing your 3D graphics library, i.e. mesa - so nothing that requires anything graphical can really work because Mesa isn't there.

Why did you even remove it in the first place? I read over the last sentence of your post.
amdgpu is an open source driver - so it makes sense you're always using that, as it's also the only one available.

So why are you trying to install the PRO drivers then? Their performance is inferior for most tasks compared to the open source drivers and AMD themselves only recommend them for their PRO video cards (hence the name).

Not sharing the X.Org log or relevant systemd journal entries.

And have you read the latest comment left on the opencl-amd AUR package page?

mesa is open source opengl driver
amdgpu-pro-libgl is amd opengl driver

Re: amdgpu pro

ITs not a good idea to remove mesa regardless. there are libs that are necessary for a few programs. Proper redirection to the PRO stack should generally happen anyway.

Re: amdgpu pro

Your surmise it's not being used how exactly? What's your output of 

glxinfo -B

?

Re: amdgpu pro

What is the output of 

$ progl glxinfo -B

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?

Re: amdgpu pro

That gives you an option to run specific opengl apps on the proprietary driver.
For vulkan & opencl there are also methods to achieve that.

Archlinux mesa uses glvnd to swtich between opengl providers, but amd proprietary driver doesn't support that.
If you want to use the proprietary driver exclusive you will have to build a customized mesa version without glvnd .

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mesa-noglvnd was created to do that job for the catalyst proprietary driver and could probably be updated to do the same for amdgpu pro .

Re: amdgpu pro

With the 20.xx driver, amdgpu-pro-libgl has stopped working in Arch. see:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/amdgpu-pro-libgl/
Causes have not been found.  There are workarounds for starting some programs (DaVinci Resolve, for example).
