I installed amggpu-pro driver from AUR and OpenGL and OpenCL works as expected. Even hw video playback (VDPAU) works. However, I have two problems:

1) KDE window compositor isn't working. It crashes when I try to enable OpenGL compositor. I don't need fancy graphical effects.. However OpenGL compositing is the only way to make vsync work with firefox and chrome. Srolling a web page without vsync looks terrible. Is this a known bug? Is there some kind of workaround?

2) Card supports fan turn-off feature when GPU temps are under 60C ... on windows. On linux, fans are working all the time. They are not audible, however I'd like to know is it somehow possible to determine current fan speed and set a custom fan curve? I'd like to emulate similar behaviour on linux.

I'm testing amdgpu-pro atm and observed massive glitches on KDE. turned out it doesn't like v=sync's "Re-use screen content" (systemsettings5 -> Display and Monitor -> Compositor), it's working fine with other v-sync variants. Maybe you were touched by this?

As for the second question - for sure there's no gui interface to manage card (or anything like aticonfig), i believe that we should be able to co access card via /sys/class/drm/card0/ (similar to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#Fan_Speed), but I can't see anything related to hwmon there. I could be missing fan conrtol since i removed it and mounted watercooling, but even I should see some oc there. Looks like some guys have success with it: https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/commen … n_control/

Edit: Tested CSGO and Metro Redux and already missing oss amdgpu, still can't believe that difference in porformance is that big (especially in Metro). But yeah, OpenCL runs fine. AMD should switch devs to oss amdgpu asap and add both opencl and official vulkan, it would be almost perfect then :>

ViOLO,
I cannot get X to start at all. I have started from scratch but even with stock arch I get errors. I have also installed the kernel package from you and the mesa-git packages but X just kèeps throwing errors.

The only related report is this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97548
Do you have monitor with freesync?

Stock Arch is no go since it doesn't have CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_CIK enabled. Did you add git kernel correctly to the bootloader (should have vmlinuz-linux-git and initramfs-linux-git.img)?

edit: ok, so my adventure with amdgpu-pro-dkms was short, after 1 hour system freezed completelly. Even hardware reset button didn't work, just like with standard amdgpu module build-in normal 4.7 kernel (like before I switched to amd-staging-4.7)

My monitor doesn't use fresync. It is a Dell P2715Q 4K.
I believe the kernel is installed correctly. uname -a shows

Linux diesel1 4.7.0-7 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Aug 28 14:57:05 CEST 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Now the Xorg log shows no screebs found.

Are you sure you don't have some garbage xorg configs, like /etc/X11/xorg.conf with fglrx inside? If yes back it up somewhere else, it could be used later also for amdgpu - simply by renaming fglrx to amdgpu in Driver line.
For amdgpu 20-amdgpu.conf file mentioned before should be enought.

Nothing but 00-keyboard.conf and 20-amdgpu.conf.

And you don't have nomodeset or radeon.modeset=0 or ie. vga=* in kernel options? Was KMS loaded:

It crashes no matter witch vsync method I choose. OpenGL in general is still very buggy. Anything that touches OpenGL and X11 system like html5 video in firefox or mpv's opengl output is all garbled up. The only thing that works without a hitch is OpenCL 1.2. This new 'pro' driver still does not support OpenCL 2.0. Sigh. I'll probably revert to pure opensource driver stack, for now. It's super stable. Even HEVC(h265) video acceleration through VDPAU works flawlessly. If some day opensource driver got support for OpenCL 2.0+ and Vulkan I would be completely satisfied with radeon drivers on linux.

I did some resarch. It is posible to control fans and power states explicilty through several sys files:

/sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_mclk -> current memory state (0 and 1) and frequency
/sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_dpm_sclk -> current GPU state(0 - 7) and frequency
/sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input -> current GPU temperature
/sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1 -> current fan speed (0 - 255)

Manually changing power states is posible Arch wiki, and I can turn off the fans if put any value for pwm1 bellow 30. However, there is no way to set up a custom fan profile. The only way to control the fans dynamically is through some sort of script that will run as a daemon and change fan profile based on current gpu state and temperature every few seconds. Other solution is to force low power state and then turn off the fans. Oh well. Maybe AMD will port their WattMan software to linux... some day.

Sorry for late answer, I had to go to sleep early. It could be easier to use scp client on your phone like andFTP and then put log on a cloud.

On my side -pro works very similar to catalyst in a matter of opengl. Yet it freezes and it's very frustrating, oss amdgpu looks so much better.
Anyhow it must be "childood disease" of 480 support. I had to wait months for catalyst to "properly" support my 290x (even longer for radeonsi driver)...

Nice find, thanks! For sure it would be helfpul for many

Hi ViOLO,

I needed to do some 'real' stuff so I installed arch from scratch with ati driver. I will look at installing the staging kernel and mesa-git pkgs again.

This was the old Xorg log you asked about.

For some reason your kms is not working:

[ 64622.014] (II) [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported.

be sure to install libdrm-git when using [mesa-git], also acpid is missing.
Don't give up and get back to amdgpu in free time, after all it's the future. Switching between working/not-working video drivers is not hard - booting in single mode is your friend

Hi Vi0L0 ,

How do you do ?
I have installed the "catalyst-total" running Manjaro in my Lenovo idealpad laptop but failed to start X windows via startx or gdm.
Do you have any idea ? below are the logs :
Thanks !

no reason for this error. I just do nothing. What happens?

I'm getting the same error as atommixz for the xorg117 and catalsyt repos.

error: GPGME error: No data
error: failed to update catalyst (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))

and I'm using the http://mirror.hactar.bz/Vi0L0/catalyst mirror, which seem to be down, looks like they didn't renew their DNS or something(?) also wirephire still seems to be out of date, are there any other mirrors that are up to date and working? I seem to remember there being like 3 or 4 at one point but that was in my old pacman.conf and I could be misremembering anyway.

don't know whats going on with hactar mirror, but can see that Goll @catalyst arch wiki did change domain from bz do xyz. It's probably true, but since i'm kinda security freak let me check data after getting back from work, which will be in 5 hours. I will confirm by editing this post.
Edit: ok, so I can confirm that hactar switched to xyz domain and is serving my original repos and files, so ie:

[catalyst]
Server = http://mirror.hactar.xyz/Vi0L0/catalyst/$arch

[xorg117]
Server = http://mirror.hactar.xyz/Vi0L0/xorg117/$arch

your memory works fine

@manjctlyst:
did manjaro dropped support for catalyst? or you get same results with it?

Yes they do.

marcoms · 2016-10-03 08:37:25

Is it possible to install catalyst on hd6k? @Vi0L0 you said earlier you would create a hd56k repo but I cant find anything like that.

yes, simply use stable packages, like catalyst-total@AUR or [catalyst-stable] repo. You can also check "control trick" by taking catalyst 15.12 [from catalyst-test@AUR or catalyst repo] with companion of /etc/ati/control file from catalyst 15.9 (simply overwrtie it). + some pregcn users had successes on clean catalyst 15.12, so it's worth checking out.

I don't see much sense in it since I'm simply maintaining stable packages. But it's possible that within weekend I will split 15.12 and add to it separate control files from both 15.12 or 15.9 so you could choose (or maybe it would be better to add simple switching script? will think about it).

I’m confused now.
When aur/catalyst-test pkgrel came up, I wanted to try again and make sure it doesn’t work without downgrading /etc/ati/control.
So I restarted my laptop and it froze when loading my dm.
But after another restart it works fine now, with `aticonfig --list-adapters` showing my gpu (7600G – pregcn).

Does the amdgpu/pro setup allow for audio over HDMI as the Catalyst driver did?

Diesel1.

Vi0L0 · 2016-10-09 14:58:15

audio over hdmi works fine here on amdgpu (4.8 kernel) @ 290x
