More Radeon & AMDGPU Fixes Line-Up For Linux 4.10

[Marc Driftmeyer]

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.

Run OS X Sierra on it.

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.

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.

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 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.
