Phoronix: Radeon Software for Linux 18.10 Brings Vulkan 1.1, Ubuntu 16.04.4 / SLE 12 SP3 Support

AMD quietly released their Radeon Software for Linux 18.10 driver. This was what was basically referred to as "AMDGPU-PRO" but is now part of the "Radeon Software" branding especially with this driver package continuing to offer the option of an "AMDGPU All-Open" stack to complement the PRO components...

I wonder which kernel versions are supported by the DKMS driver...

Don't wonder, just download a driver and look as deep as you can as usual deal with these AMD blobbies

Without looking that would be... whatever kernels supported distros have by default

The support is targeted to the latest stock kernel for all of the supported distros. So I would say the default kernel version that is the highest of the bunch.

EDIT: With that said, it could very well work on newer kernels, but are just not officially supported.

Unrelated, but how is https://mesamatrix.net/ coming along for vulkan? :-)

Can this driver handle OpenCL VEGA under non-ROCm (non PCIE atomics) hardware? Is it possible?

Still no way to run Freesync on Xorg 1.19 AFAIK....

I just checked, and it only supports 4.13 but at least there is RT for 4.13
