Disastrous problem with Mesa not loading OpenGL with amdgpu driver

Brief resume: On the wiki, it mentions the mesa-git package that contains some features for newer cards that still haven't arrived on the official driver. So I built and installed mesa-git and its related packages but OpenGL was not working. I thought it was only a problem of Mesa-git, so after trying to solve it for a while I decided to revert back to the original Mesa package. However, the problem remains, and I am having a hard time trying to find what is exactly the problem. The best I could find is inside xorg.0.log, it always says this:

nyzus@DionyzOS-LEX128G ~ % cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep 'GLX'
[     7.499] (II) Initializing extension GLX
[     7.499] (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable
[     7.499] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (libvulkan.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[     7.499] (EE) AIGLX error: unable to load driver swrast
[     7.499] (EE) GLX: could not load software renderer
[     7.499] (II) GLX: no usable GL providers found for screen 0

Does anyone have a light on this issue?

Re: Disastrous problem with Mesa not loading OpenGL with amdgpu driver

Have you replaced all other packages like llvm again as well?

The swrast_dri error seems to come from a missing library, you should reinstall vulkan-icd-loader for that.

Welp, I ended up making the problem worse while trying to fix it, so I decided the best solution was to just reinstall the root/usr partitions... at least i got home safe. Thank you, nevertheless

Re: Disastrous problem with Mesa not loading OpenGL with amdgpu driver

If drzetein used my mesa-git from aur, that defaults to using repo-llvm .
Manual user action is needed to use one of the llvm trunk variants.

The error looks like it might be caused by an incorrect conf file, but I guess we'll never know due to the re-install.
