RX 480 on ubuntu - has anyone been able to use it?

[theriddick]

Himm well I grabbed the extracted source into a temp location and changed BUILD to SOURCE in the file it mentions, then I did

sudo dkms build /home/theriddick/Desktop/Downloads/amdgpu-pro-driver/16.30.3-306809 -k kernel_version

and got, I'll keep messing with it until I figure out the syntax (my worst enemy).

Error! Invalid number of arguments passed.
Usage: add <module>/<module-version> or
add -m <module>/<module-version> or
add -m <module> -v <module-version>

I'm getting by 'kernel_version' you meant for me to put my actual version number? which is 4.4.14 for me.

UPDATE: Ok I think I might have done it, I followed some online guides and made a new dkms module that custom builds it to whatever kernel is installed, not sure if it will fix my issue but its worth a shot.

Done.

Nope didn't fix the issue, but I did notice it installed the DKMS module and modesetting was enabled all fine now. So thats one problem fixed.

I noticed that if I did ctrl-alt-esc I can get the screen to respond with clicking mouse around the desktop, it appears to be a rendering issue where the desktop is active but broken, hard to explain but where the main panel bar is, there is a black bar which I can click in the area where the start button should be and get a larger black box to open, similar if I right click on desktop I get black box but nothing in it.

I do have the cogl file patched as per instructions in other thread but that didn't seem to resolve this problem. The only issue I could possibly blame is whats in the xorg log file (below):

Lots of these:

If you install on a stock 16.04 system it should work fine AFAIK.

Can anyone confirm this, please?

Noobs like you never looked at kernel.org it seems. Did you notice when the last Bugfix Update to 4.4 was? You get all Bugfixes backported but no new drivers and extra features. Your example was very stupid...
