    1) radeonsi+amdgpu
    2) radeonsi+radeon
    3) blob+amdgpu
    Agree.

      Yes, it is correct. dri modules are named radeonsi or amdgpu

      Also not a single one of these are opensource when you run them, so in practice both are blobs

        I am not confused at all, i just talking how thing are really named... so very objectively

        Direct Rendering Infrastructure modules, mesa's one is named radeonsi, while amdgpu-pro's one is named amdgpu - that is reality

        Average Joe should know correct names, so he runs either radeonsi or amdgpu

          Mesa is a user-mode stack, thus when I said "the mesa stack is called radeonsi", I was just referring to the user-mode driver, not the kernel.

          Granted, I do see how that could be misinterpreted.

            do you have plans to show all things you completely don't understand? in practice they are opensorce because their sources are open. they are not called openbinary for a reason

              what is your definition of "stack" then?

                He's talking about the proprietary 3D driver I believe, so there would be no git to back it up.

                  What git repository, lucifer666 ?

                  Just download driver from amd site and see how dri module is named there It is called amdgpu.

                  So AMD GCN users use radeonsi or amdgpu for 3D rendering

                    That's just confusing; amdgpu is kernel level driver, while radeonsi is user level driver. It's even more confusing to say that because they can be used together and are in no way incompatible with each other.

                    pal666 I wouldn't bother arguing; dungeon seems like an ignorant minority from what I see.

                      It is not confusion at all, that is how it is For amdgpu-pro driver package everything is amdgpu, only opensource mesa driver has problem with first naming conventions
