    Now the question is when we'll see a new AMDGPU-PRO release supporting it.
    Using it here with HWE Enablement Stack, no problem.

      Just install xorg-hwe meta package with recommends, see there that will pick hwe kernel meta package also:

      http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-up...xorg-hwe-16.04

      But think twice if you wants this rolling hwe , well as once you install that it will always upgrade to next hwe stack in about 6 months again and again in another 6 months... at that point it would stop once 18.04 point is there , etc..

        Isn't the current one (v16.60) incompatible with kernel 4.8?

          That is extremely confusing, since in the same paragraph they link to the outdated page about the rolling HWE stuff, and that sounds like the old version. Also, will that update kernel and everything? Is xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 a package group or whatever you call them? Or is that literally just the X server? How do I get the updated kernel?

          This is extremely confusing and lackin in documentation.

            Ok, that clears things up. But seriously, having links to outdated pages that talk about different things as well as providing no explanation for what installing that meta package does is annoying.

              The dkms dance took care of specifics for me; no problems apparent, for now.

              Also, check bridgman's post.
