AMD Lands Displayable DCC Support For Raven APUs In Mesa 19.1's RadeonSI

I'm having virtually no dramas with it

The only issue so far is the listing of device hardware through its own built-in device, and thought it a bit odd despite the fact I'm playing full 3D games I never expected to run, let alone nicely. I'm not using it for gaming, but everything does seem to be in pretty good shape.

Longshot, but trying my luck, anyone using a Gigabyte AORUS >>I<< Pro Wifi mini-itx board? B450 chipset. I'm having virtually no dramas with it (and 2200G CPU), but under Manjaro, lists virtually nothing in detail in MHWD graphic utility and even goes so far as to say my rig is running a VESA video driver. Despite running most games acceptably well (Even Conan Exiles ran fine, without the Battle-Eye, and that's saying something for FunCom), it's been a pretty damn smooth experience.

Anything related to tpm at all? I think AMD fTPM is disabled by default on many mobos.

I don't see anything related to tpm.

I don't see any tpm errors in my dmesg output.

• Does AMD fTPM work with that mobo? Or do you get

  tpm_crb MSFT0101:00: can't request region for resource ...

  error?
• The ROG STRIX B350-F is frequently mentioned in the C6 state system freeze bug. Is your system stable with C6 enabled or do you have to turn it off?

I don't see any tpm errors in my dmesg output. I haven't seen any freezes and have never had to apply any workarounds on this board.

In fairness, the i2c patches were posted prior to launch, but the kernel maintainers wanted a fairly major infrastructural rework of one of the subsystems before they would take the patches, so it took a while to finally get the patches upstream. In the case of the programs with OEM Linux preloads, we worked with the distros and OEMs to try and get the patches into the distros for launch while we reworked the patches for upstream.

From what I can tell, the patch author stopped working on the patch completely after a few revisions, and another community member had to pick it up to transform it into an upstreamable state.

Meanwhile, Ubuntu continues to carry a really old version of the patch which has problems with certain laptops like the Lenovo Yoga 530-14ARR, where it is not working every other boot. They did not bother to update their patch to later revisions at all.

I personally have an Asus ROG STRIX B350-F and have not had any problems with it.

Interesting, if you don't mind I have a few questions:

• Does AMD fTPM work with that mobo? Or do you get

  tpm_crb MSFT0101:00: can't request region for resource ...

  error?

sbios means systems bios. As for boards, In addition to the AMD reference platforms, I personally have an Asus ROG STRIX B350-F and have not had any problems with it.

Ok, thanks, I will keep that in mind.

I asked for Linux compatibility and "the best" or at least "better than others" BIOS support, ACPI tables, etc. Any experience is welcome, and I would be more than happy if agd5f ...


could share some experience. If this is not possible, I would be glad if you could point as to a third party website with some information about this topic.

Moreover, does "sbios" mean the (normal) system BIOS, or something else?

I have burned one motherboard with overclocking

Sorry, but I didn't ask about general impressions of motherboard companies. I asked for Linux compatibility and "the best" or at least "better than others" BIOS support, ACPI tables, etc. Any experience is welcome, and I would be more than happy if agd5f ...

It depends on the sbios on your system.

[*]Huawei Matebook D 14" Ryzen Edition. This is the only one that I can say works well in Linux. Everything just works OOTB in Ubuntu. For correct touchpad/touchscreen function, other distros may need kernel patch for AMD MP2 I2C controller (scheduled for mainline inclusion in kernel 5.2, A WHOLE 1.5 YEARS AFTER RAVEN RIDGE LAPTOPS LAUNCHED WTF AMD).
