Linux 4.9-rc1 Kernel Released Early

[HybridX]

You will need (at least for Ubuntu):
+ If you've got the padoka ppa, you've got the latest necessary packages, but feel free to compile from source.
+ The xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu package
+ The option for 'SI support' ticked under AMDGPU in the latest kernel (4.9-rc*)

Could you elaborate on how I enable AMDGPU support with this kernel? Do I need to compile my own kernel?

Thanks!

Finaly its work with mesa 12-1 git.
But performance with glxgears is bad, i go test with game steam, steam cant boot, is say:
Couldn't find bootstrap, it's not safe to reset Steam. Please contact technical support.

I used this configure:
./configure --enable-gles1 --enable-gles2 --enable-glx-tls --with-egl-platforms=drm,x11 --with-gallium-drivers=radeonsi --enable-texture-float --enable-gbm --enable-dri3 --enable-debug --enable-shared-glapi --with-dri-drivers="" --enable-opencl

After make and make install, i have copy/past to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu startx work, amdgpu load, glxinfo glxheads work fine.

I need to recompile for x86_64 and i386 ?
I think steam accept only i386 and i386 lib is missing, i dont know how compile target.

I'm currently playing Pillars of Eternity, Debian Unstable including Xorg, R9 380x, amdgpu. I am getting 60 fps with kernel 4.8.1. I don't know why it's locked at 60, I don't have vsync on and my 144 Hz Freesync monitor is doing 90 because xrandr says "Failed to change the screen configuration!" if I try to go 120, which used to work but 144 Hz has never worked with amdgpu only with amdgpu-pro. Anyhow, with 4.9-rc1 I get a very sucky ~25 fps. Reboot 4.8.1 back to 60 fps. Ah, how sometimes I wish this shit just worked. Back to 4.8.1.

Does Rosegarden play midi or software synths? Kernels after 4.7.8 does not work here so for me they are garbage.

Do I need any special midi,seq...etc things enable in kernel (I didn't play with midi files since ages)? If not then i don't bring good news

Maybe you could use the same kernel that I am, amd-staging-4.7. It has DAL and freesync code that I saw with dmesg when booting with a no nfreesync monitor. I disabled DAL for trying to improve stability with wine-staging, but TR 2013 andHeaven bench freezes my pc. Native Linux games and Heaven benchmark works ok.

Kernel 4.8. is working fairly well so I think I will stick with it until 4.9rc works but I guess I have time to experiment with amd-staging-4.7, from where do you get it?
