driconf/xdriinfo says Screen 0: not direct rendering capable

Hi, I'm trying to edit my graphic settings using

driconf

and I get the error:

Screen 0: not direct rendering capable.

My GPU is an AMD Vega 64 and I'm running GNOME 3.26 (Wayland).

I've tried adding the following to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf (according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AM … iguration):

Section "Device"
    Identifier "AMD"
    Driver "amdgpu"
    Option "DRI" "3"
EndSection

But I'm still getting the same error. Am I missing something?

Remove your 20-amdgpu.conf file, restart X and post the output of 'uname -a', 'lspci -nnk' and 'LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo'.

Thanks for getting me on the right path w/ the debug commands. I figured out that it was because of Gnome running on Wayland. Switching desktop managers fixed the problem.
