Phoronix: More Radeon & AMDGPU Fixes Line-Up For Linux 4.10

Alex Deucher has sent in another batch of fixes for the Radeon and AMDGPU DRM drivers for the Linux 4.10 kernel...

Wonder when they will try to fix d300/d500/d700 gpus found in macpro 2013.

Nor radeonsi, neither amdgpu (and even amdgpupro) can find any display attached to system, going to virtual 1024*768 screen.

Are you running Boot Camp ? If not then IIRC the driver won't be able to find the VBIOS image.

What do the logs tell you ?

I'd say the talk about added support for more peculiar Southern Islands cards pretty much fits the bill for just that. AFAIK the D300/500/700 series are Southern Islands cards and they most definitely are pretty odd beasts with all of their Apple specific quirks.

I guess I have the same problem. I thought the problem was with my specific additional display.

Not running Boot Camp. How (and why) would I run Linux from Boot Camp?

Which logs? (Maybe netkas knows)

EDIT: I'm booting Fedora/Ubuntu from Refind. Perhaps that means I'm using Bootcamp without knowing it.

Yes they are Tahiti cards. So far I don't know about any additional quirks that might be problematic for the driver. I'm not sure if I should just give up on that, and buy another PC, but I'd prefer to wait with that a few months, at least, so that I can get either the Vega or the 1080 Ti. Currently I can't run Vulkan, Wayland runs only if I boot from the USB install stick, and the second monitor isn't really usable. That's not something I want, so I am doing something else in the meantime.

Run OS X Sierra on it.

Do you mean this ?

Will try to get log, not easy in this config
