IF PROBLEM HAPPEN

this package is our try to put amdgpu in ARCH, but this could break or have problems as amd update and change their packages for ubuntu

if anything happens you can always download a older tag in https://github.com/Ashark/archlinux-amdgpu-pro/releases and get the PKGBUILD there, and use makepkg with that build while we update or try to fix :)

ALWAYS USE LINUX-FIRMWARE-GIT IF LATEST DRIVER FAIL BEFORE ISSUE SOME ERROR

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-firmware-git

PKGBUILD generator is located here: https://github.com/Ashark/archlinux-amdgpu-pro

AMDGPU PRO wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMDGPU_PRO

New versions will appear here: https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu/.

Anybody have an easy way to downgrade all the relevant Xorg packages? I haven't been able to come up with a list that works together.

I'm trying to install compiz after amdgpu-pro, but it can't find libdrm. It also failing to find libgl, so i installed mesa-libgl instead of amdgpu-pro-libgl, but i can't do the same for libdrm. What should i do? I cannot find any info on that. UPD: after a lot of time spent on google and trying different solutions i just gave up and created symlink to amdgpu-pro's libGl (Yes, i don't have 'mesa-libgl' installed anymore, but i have 'mesa' package installed though. And i completely reinstalled amdgpu-pro once again). And that didn't help. I have no idea what to do. Of cource, that is not only 'compiz' compiling problem, - anything related to GL, GLES and DRM (at least) will eventually fail compilation process, which is a huge problem for me, considering 'amdgpu-pro' has best performance among all video drivers in my case. Please, help.. UPD-2: Recreated symlinks, works for libGL. But not for libdrm, unfortunately. Finds libEGL, but not drm. Mistake with symlinks once again, probably. Still i want to know why do i have to manually create symlinks, it donsn't seem like a very safe thing to do.

@Corngood Yeah, I have twice now, but there are serious graphical glitches, mainly to do with corrupted text and letters missing, so it's pretty unusable for me on an HD 7850. I don't know how to correctly go back to the amdgpu driver if this can't be fixed either, although I may just be dumb of course. I'll put a screenshot in the issue. Thanks

@Stonewall @JontySR I opened an issue: https://github.com/corngood/archlinux-amdgpu/issues/30 In the meantime, are you able to install it with makepkg?

Hey, @Stonewall beat me to it by a minute. xD

@Corngood Awesome job. One problem I'm having is when I pacaur -S amdgpu-pro, I get: :: resolving dependencies... :: dependency cycle detected (amdgpu-pro=16.60.379184-1 amdgpu-pro-dkms=16.60.379184-1 amdgpu-pro-libdrm=16.60.379184-1 amdgpu-pro-opencl=16.60.379184-1 amdgpu-pro-vdpau=16.60.379184-1 amdgpu-pro-vulkan=16.60.379184-1 lib32-amdgpu-pro=16.60.379184-1 lib32-amdgpu-pro-libdrm=16.60.379184-1 lib32-amdgpu-pro-opencl=16.60.379184-1 lib32-amdgpu-pro-vdpau=16.60.379184-1 lib32-amdgpu-pro-vulkan=16.60.379184-1 xf86-video-amdgpu-pro=16.60.379184-1) I managed to install it with makepkg -si from the git clone earlier, but I uninstalled because all the text was glitchy corrupt-looking, and wanted to reinstall, seeing if I could get round this dependency cycle as well.

Now it get this stonewall@axiom ~ % pacaur -S amdgpu-pro :: Package amdgpu-pro not found in repositories, trying AUR... :: resolving dependencies... :: dependency cycle detected (amdgpu-pro=16.60.379184-1 amdgpu-pro-dkms=16.60.379184-1 amdgpu-pro-libdrm=16.60.379184-1 amdgpu-pro-opencl=16.60.379184-1 amdgpu-pro-vdpau=16.60.379184-1 amdgpu-pro-vulkan=16.60.379184-1 lib32-amdgpu-pro=16.60.379184-1 lib32-amdgpu-pro-libdrm=16.60.379184-1 lib32-amdgpu-pro-opencl=16.60.379184-1 lib32-amdgpu-pro-vdpau=16.60.379184-1 lib32-amdgpu-pro-vulkan=16.60.379184-1 lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs>=6 ncurses5-compat-libs>=6 xf86-video-amdgpu-pro=16.60.379184-1) 1 stonewall@axiom ~ %

@Stonewall it's just amdgpu-pro The installer package is part of the PKGBUILD

Anyone know why I can't find this pacage with pacaur? stonewall@axiom ~ % pacaur -S amdgpu-pro-installer :( :: Package amdgpu-pro-installer not found in repositories, trying AUR... :: resolving dependencies... :: no results found for amdgpu-pro-installer 1 stonewall@axiom ~ %

@parkerlreed It's working with 4.8 and 4.9. It's broken with 4.4, and probably will be broken with 4.10. I wouldn't bother installing this without the dkms driver.
