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

@Stonewall : Here is how I do that : http://pastebin.com/uksMGgNn Please read the header comments.

Hey @nmset could you give a little more information on how you are getting this to working?

WildyLion commented on 2016-11-23 13:33 (UTC)

Can somebody please share a new PKGBUILD for 16.40? Also it seems one should run linux-lts for the time being to avoid slowdowns.

Thank you @nmset, I'm currently using RX480, too. I'll try it. Will this be merged into the package's repository?

I've been patching 16.40 DKMS against linux 4.9.0-rc5. It builds after applying the 14 available patches, plus the following patch applied as 0015 : http://pastebin.com/dsA1LAcS 0013-Remove-dependency-on-System.map.patch has to be modified, discarding the last lines that delete a/amd/backport/symbols. My final impression is that it's useless to use the DKMS package. glmark2 score has not changed at all. Worse, this older driver does not activate powerplay on my Topaz discrete GPU, and the laptop becomes hot and noisy. dmesg reveals '[drm] Initialized amdgpu 3.2.0 20150101' with the DKMS build, while the 4.9.0-rc5 module's version is 3.8.0. @Paullux : The DKMS package is not an obligation. As I said below, I'm using 16.40 with a dirty PKGBUILD on my laptop having Kaveri+Topaz, and on my desktop with RX480. I avoided 4.8.x because 4.9 stable will be out soon.

The driver needs DKMS to work...

Does anyone succeed to make OpenCL work on kernel 4.8? The display manager doesn't boot if I install all packages except dkms (dkms doesn't build). Or on what version of kernel this package will work? If none, I think I should start to try patching this package.. Isn't this an userspace driver? I am wondering why we need dkms here.

I'm sorry this package hasn't got any attention lately. Partly due to the struggle of dealing with many kernel/xorg configs and proprietary drivers, I've been working almost exclusively on NixOS (which I can't praise highly enough). I will happily take PRs if anyone can get 16.40 working. The patches needed for linux-4.8 should be very similar to what's in NixOS: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/os-specific/linux/amdgpu-pro/patches Also the history there should help explain how things have moved around in 16.40.

I tried to work package, I forked the reposery of lhl on github. I am stopping because there is error with dkms, and i don't know how to resolve this. I have change PKGBUILD and one of patchs to BUILD and try to install the driver. To obtain this : https://github.com/Paullux/archlinux-amdgpu If someone want to continue or say me if i mistaked somethings. The error is : ==> dkms install amdgpu-pro-16.40/348864 -k 4.8.8-2-ARCH /var/lib/dkms/amdgpu-pro-16.40/348864/build/pre-build.sh: ligne 26: amd/backport/symbols: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.8.8-2-ARCH (x86_64) http://pastebin.com/EtDm79yW
