AMDGPU Driver Not Working

Post by Titan91 »

I'm wanting to use the open source AMDGPU driver built in to LMDE3. I installed an MSI RX 550 which works out of the box but the AMDGPU driver does not appear to be working. Cinnamon does not work (crashes on boot) and my screen resolution is stuck at 1024x768. I have tried the below:

Re: AMDGPU Driver Not Working

Post by Titan91 »

I switched to Linux Mint 19.2 which resolved the issue. My assumption is the latest kernel available for Debian Stretch in the backports and experimental sources is just too old. I was never able to get a newer kernel than what I could find installed. Kernel 4.15 worked with Vulkan out of the box from the stock Ubuntu repositories.
