Bug#899086: xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu: completely fails to detect AMD RX 550 (which uses the Polaris 12 chipset) unless firmware-amd-graphics package installed

2021-06-20 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)
Alan and bug 899086, Please try testing if this situation is improved or fixed in debian testing (to soon become bullseye) images, similarly to as you did before. In fact the cdimage address you linked seems to be still exactly correct!. I'd like to see bug-report either closed or updated for bu

Bug#890357: Graphical issues with an RX 480

2021-06-20 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)
Can you confirm this issue is/is-not relevant any more on either of:- * Debian Bullseye (testing) * Debian Buster (stable) with the backported version of kernel (5.10.0-0.bpo.7) installed. Amdgpu has improved a long way since the time this bug report was created, and would be good to get the

Bug#892982: system freeze after lock screen/switched off monitors/spontaneously

2021-06-19 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)
I can confirm the buster-backports now offers kernel 5.10.0-0.bpo.7-amd64 .. Please test this following notes on previous bug pointer. Can the bug now be closed, if that works, or doesn't -- I don't think there is an X.org bug here. --Simon

Julian and bug 942318, buster-backports now provides kernel 5.10.0-0.bpo.7 via the buster-backports linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64 packages. Please confirm if this solves the issue for you, and close the bug. --Simon

Bug#970574: xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu: ABI changed (24.0 to 24.1) but not the dependencies

GSR, Buster now has xserver-xorg-core version 2:1.20.4-1+deb10u3 [in-between the versions you quoted] and bullseye now has a newer newer 2:1.20.11-1 version. Given the date of your bug-report, it looks like you had the old 2018 version of the xorg-xserver package even though the buster package

Dear Janusz linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64 have now come out in version 5.10.0-0.bpo.7 in buster-backports. Please confirm the issue is solved for you (or not) by using that kernel as above, so the bug report can be prgressed or closed. --Simon

Bug#900087: AMD RX 550 often locks up

2021-05-30 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)
I would generally say this looks like problems more in kernel and firmware land, than bugs in the xserver driver to me... I would, generally note a lot of wider AMD instability/issues (that Alan) talks about improved a lot in 5.8-ubuntu and 5.10-debian (bullseye and buster-backports) kernels. Even

2021-05-30 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)
I can say, I understood a limitation of amdgpu kernel driver has been not supporting VGA/analogue outputs in some (or all?) cases. I understood this is part of the reason it is not the default driver over radeon for some cards. However, given many other other experiences and bugreports with am

2021-05-30 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)
I have had first-hand experience of these Xorg crashes and lockups in combination with either sleep or un-powering monitors. I would 100% agree with Hermann that this is highly likely to be improved with kernel update. In short, I would go to *at least* the buster-backports kernel i.e. https:/

Given some other experiences with amdgpu modesetting problems, and looking at this bug, I would say:- 1) Please try updating all packages and reboot and try again, kernel should be now 4.19.0-16 2) Secondly, enable backports https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ and then:-

2021-05-28 Thread Simon Iremonger (debian)
Dear all on this bug, I would like to briefly point out these crashes are showing kernel errors, the kernel / amdgpu modesetting seems to be a very significant part of the problem if I am not mistaken, this bug being against the X-server component. I would say, from the deb-10 / MX19.4 side of t
