Hello, I am new to Arch so I am still getting used to the hands on technical details. I haven't given up yet.
What I am trying to do is get my brand new AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 GPU to do some GPUPU work. I am using BOINC as a test, I figure if I can get the GPU doing work on BOINC then I can move on to other programs. I decided to use Gnome Display Manager as I was given a choice and just picked it. I can change it if need be. I am also using the mate desktop environment.
So far I have installed so many openCL, AMDGPU and AMDGPU-PRO packages that I have lost track of what is on the system. I am looking through my history so here is what I have installed or attempted to install:
Attempted to install the catalyst driver from:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AM … repository
But I ran into a dependency issue with X-server specifically that x-server<1.18 I couldn't figure out how to downgrade so I did some research and found that the open source drivers were probably adequate so long as I could get openCL running.
pacman'd the following:
lib32-mesa
xf86-mesa-amdgpu
xf86-video-amdgpu
vulkan-radeon
mesa-vdpau
xorg-server
xf86-input-libinput
xorg-server-common
xorg-server-xwayland
libxfont
mesa
lib32-mesa-vdpau
ocl-icd
amdgpu-pro
AUR:
amdgpu-pro-installer
libopencl
linux-amd-staging-drm-next-git
linux-amd-staging-git
opencl-amd
I have many libraries so it may just be a matter of configuration at this point.
I think the AMDGPU-PRO drivers are not being loaded, see "dmesg | grep amd" below.
Basic diagnostics is something that I am having trouble with being new to this. So I will do my best to include the relevant info as well as update the commands that others suggest.
My specific questions are:
1. What sort of configuration files exist such that I can puzzle out a proper config?
2. What other sort of diagnostic commands should I run?
3. Is it necessary to run X-server instead of GDM?
First goal: Get this to report that there is one platform
"clinfo"
Number of platforms 0Second goal: Get BOINC to recognize the graphics card as something it can use for work.
Boinc currently complains that:
