[Solved] Old system, Granite Ridge video

[tkzv]

I connected an old HDD to a new motherboard, and cannot get video to work in X Window.

Code: Select all

$ lspci | grep VGA
0d:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Granite Ridge [Radeon Graphics] (rev c9)

I recompiled the kernel with radeon and amdgpu drivers and rebuilt world with VIDEO_CARDS="radeon r600 amdgpu radeonsi nouveau nvk zink nvidia". X Window refused to load, with the error that no cards supported by "radeon" driver were found. I changed it to VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu nouveau nvk zink nvidia", in /etc/X11/xorg.conf replaced "radeon" with "amdgpu". After that Xorg.0.log says:

What's wrong? Which driver do I need?

tkzv,

Your GPU is a 1002:13c0 by its PCI Vendor and Device ID.
That will need amdgpu and radennsi in VIDEO_CARDS so it looks good.

Support was added to the 5.16 kernel, so you need a newer kernel than that.

Code: Select all

[  1929.478] (EE) No devices detected. 

suggests that something else is grabbing the GPU.

Your entire dmesg, xorg log, kernel .config and any xorg.conf snippets will be helpful.

Make friends with wgetpaste to put things onto a pastebin site. Post the links, so we can find them.
You may need to play with the -s and -S options as some of that is too big for some sites.

Thanks.
I recompiled the kernel with SI enabled. The new .configure: https://pastebin.com/t9yp9W6j

Now I get "xf86OpenConsole: VT_ACTIVATE failed: Operation not permitted"

Somehow, every time I reboot, the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is reverted to this:

Code: Select all

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "aticonfig Layout"
        Screen      0  "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection

Section "Module"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
        Option      "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
        Option      "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
        Option      "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Device"

        Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
        Driver "radeon"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
        Device     "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
        Monitor    "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
        EndSubSection
EndSection

I tried replacing «Driver "radeon"» with «Driver "amdgpu"» or removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf. In all cases I get errors in the log:

Code: Select all

(WW) xf86OpenConsole: VT_ACTIVATE failed: Operation not permitted

Somehow, it all started working, after I tried many things suggested elsewhere. There were at least 2 problems that may have contributed:

1. There was a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.radeon-0, which was copied over /etc/X11/xorg.conf at every reboot. After I disabled an old script in /etc/local.d/, it is no longer copied. But the configuration from xorg.conf.radeon-0 resulted in a different error.

2. For unprivileged user “rc-service elogind status” gave an access error for deleting '/sys/fs/cgroup/openrc.elogind'. After I ran it as root, the error no longer appears.
