 |
|
hell so i have been wondering how do i correctly install drivers for amd gpu? is it rocm? if so why is in testing keyword? (~amd64) what erse to use? opencl?so i need to recompile mesa without openc and then? or is even amdgpu supported in binary gentoo kernels is that my issue ?
need help with this, because i have rocm drivers, rocm-smi works, but it doesnt work in blender, nor with HIP or i tried radenprorender engine but i cant select my gpu anyways, i alwaysh ead amd gpus are best for linux, now i got it and the experiecne sucks, with nvidia i just get nvidia-driver and thats it. |

'firewall' use flag doesn't even exist. Good grief.
Removing all use flags from make.conf and readding only those that make sense globally would be a good start. If you need to modify use flags for a single package or a couple of them, package.use is a better place to do it. And some of the use flags you added are in desktop profile already or aren't enabled by default anyway. And may be it's time to make up your mind about gstreamer. You have both 'gstreamer' and '-gstreamer' in there. |

finoderi,
USE=firewall could exist in an overlay.

| Why not Arch then? Same binary kernel, zero USE flags, more packages available, including different variants of ROCm. |

ironacly i had more unstable experience on arch, and i like useflags, i like stripping down software from stuff i dont need, or its in t he way, and its easy to write ebuilds for packages that are not in repo, and learning aur idk, i like this ecosystem, just the amdgpu feels so hard to get working, and i just this morning managed to organize my use flags, yay |

The AMDGPU drivers are in the kernel, so you just have to make sure it's enabled there, plus whatever firmware your card needs.
AMDGPU-Pro is for very specific use cases. Edit: just seeing now that you need to use blender. Sorry, no clue, but it seems like others use blender with AMDGPU.

I have RX6600 now and had RX480 before that. AMDGPU open source driver has been more than enough for me to play games on Steam and on PCSX2. I've never tried to use Blender but Kdenlive worked just fine with AMDGPU, although I understand it's not the same thing. |

My (limited!) understanding is that rocm and amdgpu-pro conflict with each other, but both lay on top of the kernel driver. I got rocm to work and I can run xmrig with opencl support, and it uses the GPU, but you need something older than version 4.5 'cus that's when they dropped polaris support < this is backed up by my vega card getting detected by clinfo, but not the polaris one.
xf86-video-amd is the driver module for xorg, you can (read: want to) keep that. |
