openSUSE Tumbleweed RX Vega 56 hardware acceleration

[zaggynl]

There is a guy who has a repo with latest llvm and mesa packages, for Leap 42.3 and Tumbleweed, you could try his repo:

https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/forkbomb:/

named "turboAMD", he has a stable and latest stuff branch in his repo.

Though, you try this at your own risk to include an external repo to your system.

That worked for me, followed these instructions: https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/co...ne_repository/
Switch to turboAMD packages, kept kwin and plasma5-workspace packages (broke dependencies)
All still working.

I did not use turboAMD but another OBS user project using LLVM6, which worked fine.
