3D acceleration not enabled

[LordCorvin]

I have a problem with getting my graphics card RX550 working with Linux mint 18.2 MATE
The acceleration gets disabled and it runs in software mode.
glxgears runs at 1 FPS
glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
1061 frames in 6.0 seconds = 177.521 FPS
6 frames in 6.0 seconds = 1.000 FPS
5 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1.000 FPS
6 frames in 6.0 seconds = 1.000 FPS
5 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1.000 FPS

I'm using NoMachine as my display, it supports 3d acceleration I checked.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello LordCorvin

Welcome to Linux Mint and the Linux Mint forum

Your problem seems to be with the direct rendering driver

Code: Select all

[     6.236] (EE) modeset(0): [DRI2] No driver mapping found for PCI device 0x1002 / 0x699f
[     6.236] (EE) modeset(0): Failed to initialize the DRI2 extension.

Can you paste back the results of inxi -FxzD

[WharfRat]

Your error shows that "No driver mapping found for PCI device 0x1002"

But the inxi results is listed as "Card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Lexa PRO [Radeon RX 550] bus-ID: 01:00.0"

Did you possibly add an xorg.conf file that's fferencing the wrong bus id

What is the result of lspci

The bus id must match as my inxi and lspci results show

Card: NVIDIA GK208 [GeForce GT 730] bus-ID: 01:00.0

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208 [GeForce GT 730] (rev a1)

[LordCorvin]

It does match

Code: Select all

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Lexa PRO [Radeon RX 550] (rev c7)

I didn't touch the Xorg.conf at all, it should be default. Is there a way to regenerate it?

[WharfRat]

You shouldn't need an xorg.conf file with the open source drivers.

If you have one, I'd be curious to see the contents with cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Aslo I'm curious if there is a 01:02.0 PCI device so can you paste back the full output of lspci

[LordCorvin]

[rene]

Please note that 1002:699f is the PCI ID for the RX550; the ID you see with lspci -n. It is in this thread being confused with the bus-address/id 01:00.0. I believe it likely that the supplied AMDGPU is simply too old for the card; you may want to try using AMDGPU-PRO downloaded from AMD directly.

[WharfRat]

While further critiquing your log file I also ran across "Unable to find connected outputs "

6.029] (II) modeset(0): Output DP-1 disconnected
6.029] (II) modeset(0): Output HDMI-1 disconnected
6.029] (II) modeset(0): Output DVI-D-1 disconnected

So it seems that there is no monitor connected as far as xorg is concerned

What does xrandr return

[LordCorvin]

Yeah I have no screen connected, using NoMachine to access the box, as I said in 1st post. You think that's the issue?

ubuntu@Linux-Mint ~ $ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 16384 x 16384
DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

DVI-D-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

@rene
That's the proprietary drivers right? Is there a way to install ore up to date open source drivers? Or only Closed source drivers will help?

[rene]

Yes, AMDGPU-PRO is the proprietary driver. Well, in fact, it is for the largest part the same as the opensource AMDGPU driver, just with a few proprietary parts added on and I'd personally be running AMDGPU-PRO if I had the hardware.

I am myself still on Mint 17.3 and cannot as such easily check what's available on 18.x but certainly I expect you needn't look further than getting things updated. Is an xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu update available from Update Manager? If yes, certainly install that. Even if not; what I'm not completely sure about is whether or not updating your kernel might be all that's minimally needed. As such I'd try that as well: in Update Manager, View -> Linux kernels, and install the highest kernel series and version thereof available. Reboot and retry.

If however things haven't improved at this point (i.e., if X is still not using amdgpu as seen from the inxi -Gx output) then yes, I believe you'll for now need to go with AMDGPU-PRO: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-article ... Notes.aspx. You need the Ubuntu 16.04 version on Mint 18.x and should seemingly refer to viewtopic.php?t=229229 to get them to install on Mint.

Note that quite a few people would love access to AMDGPU-PRO....

[WharfRat]

LordCorvin,

Further digging with man radeon shows there's no support for the Lexa chip as of version 1:7.7.0-1 of xserver-xorg-video-radeon currently available in 18.2's repos.

So it seems that the proprietary driver is your only salvation at this juncture.

[rene]

So it seems that the proprietary driver is your only salvation at this juncture.

Careful; "amdgpu" is every bit as non-proprietary as "radeon" and would be the default and preferred driver if only he had new enough versions of kernel and xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu installed/available. amdgpu-pro as available directly from AMD is a combination of that same (if supposedly newer) non-proprietary amdgpu driver and a few proprietary bits added on.

I see they've made a lot of changes for the AMD graphic cards that I really haven't kept up with having an Nvidia card now.

I have an older machine that's using the Radeon HD 3200 and when booted to Rosa only shows radeon as the driver.

With Sonya it shows ATI,radeon as the drivers ATI being the wrapper that loads the radeon driver for older cards.

Too bad it's gotten so confusing with the newer cards

[rene]

Too bad it's gotten so confusing with the newer cards

It's not all that bad...

xserver-xorg-video-ati is indeed a wrapper driver around xserver-xorg-video-mach64 (ATI Rage), xserver-xorg-video-r128 (ATI Rage 128) and xserver-xorg-video-radeon but really only the last of these, furthermore "radeon", is still relevant.

"radeon" supports pre-GCN chips (in which GCN, Graphics Core Next, is hardware post Radeon HD 7730) and many or maybe even all GCN chips, but the better driver for GCN chips is xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu, "amdgpu". Every bit as open source as "radeon", "amdgpu" is developed by AMD itself and therefore uses more intimate hardware knowledge than the community-developed "radeon" driver can -- although AMD developers have also significantly contributed to the "radeon" driver after AMD dropped support for the proprietary "fglrx" driver which used to be available for pre-GCN. On pre-GCN "radeon" should largely be on par with the old "fglrx" but on GCN, "amdgpu" should be the driver of choice.

Unfortunately AMD did confuse things by not supporting the earliest GCN chips, first and second generation, immediately in "amdgpu"; it's up to this day hard to find out what you exactly need to get (experimental or otherwise) support for those chips from the "amdgpu" driver. Anyways, "radeon" works for those...

From AMD itself you can download "amdgpu-pro", a combination of the same open source "amdgpu" driver that distributions get together with a few proprietary bits added on. I expect that once things stabilize wrt. to this that Mint will offer "amdgpu-pro" from Driver Manager similarly as it did with "fglrx".

[WharfRat]

Thanks for the insight into the radeon and amdgpu drivers.

AMD dropped support for the proprietary "fglrx" driver which used to be available for pre-GCN

I remember the fglrx driver. I used to run gentoo and had disabled radeon support in the kernel.

Then support was dropped after about three years for my hardware so I had to revert to the radeon driver.

They seemed to drop support for the older hardware pretty quickly which was a little frustrating for users.

[LordCorvin]

Sorry took a while to get time to properly update.
