Re: Issues with Mesa 24.3.x and amdgpu Vega graphics

You have done a serious partial update, and your system is in a completely unsupported and unsupportable state.

I'll point you to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p2219910 for the right way to handle this, downgrading a bunch of things is NOT it.

Isn't it simpler just to switch to mesa-amber for a while? No conflicts, just install mesa-amber and it`ll replace the mesa package.

Re: Issues with Mesa 24.3.x and amdgpu Vega graphics

The mesa-git version I used seemed very stable to me, but now I count two freezes during the last few days. That's way better than with other 24.3.x-Versions, but shouldn't happen. Of course, who knows if there is not another problem on my pc teasing me?

The freezes happen out of the blue.  I can hardly move the mouse pointer (very, very slow reaction) but no input is accepted and the keyboard doesn't react at all.

Yes, that's the same behavior that I saw with the original freezes. So trunk probably still has the bug. Can you test with Lone_Wolf's most recent trunk build without patch so that we're consistent with our builds (everyone who wants to help should test this as well)? Because the freezes seem somewhat random, we'll have to test for a lot longer than the expected time for a freeze in order to be confident in the build's stability.

I'll continue testing with the patched version to help isolate the freeze cause if I encounter one.

@Mechanicus There might not be any conflicts, but it took about a minute from starting X for my wallpaper to appear, and the rest of my desktop never actually did, so I'm not sure mesa-amber is a viable solution on this hardware (3200g like a couple others).

Do you know where hardware support for the radeon non-gallium driver stopped? I don't. If your card is newer, that would just switch you to software rendering, which isn't a good option.

Re: Issues with Mesa 24.3.x and amdgpu Vega graphics

After what @bernd_b recently said, I can understand @kclisp's suggestion to test the mesa-test-git 25.0.0 without the patch again, as the situation has now become even more confusing.

Even without @kclisp's suggestion, I had already considered this.
In post #156 I had also decided to use this test-git after testing the overdue release 24.3.4, *also* to make sure whether it works or not.

Maybe I will actually do this beforehand. It also depends on whether 24.3.4 is released in the next few hours or not...

by the way: mesa 24.3.3-2 is running almost the best for me so far. It has only crashed once up to now...

Sorry orbit-oc, i've lost track with all the different versions and patches going around, this is the version from the repos without any modifications at all?
