Lutris/Manjaro : amdgpu_device_initialize: DRM version is 2.50.0 but this driver is only compatible with 3.x.x

Support Graphics & Display
28

I tried everything in 5.7. Didn’t try in 5.8 except what you told me to try. You think it would change something ?

29

Huh? All posts displays kernel 5.8 xD When did you use 5.7 ?

Try different kernels since the amdgpu driver is baked in it it has different stages of progress.

30

Yeah I did all you suggested in 5.8, but all my previous tests were in 5.7.

What should I try with different kernels ?

31

same as above ^^ but just start the computer with different kernels.

btw… what shows mhwd -l ?

Is there a way to change kernel and reboot with a command ?

I’ll try this

Loading
The amdgpu kernel module should load fine automatically on system boot.
If it does not happen, then:

with 5.8 and 5.7

33

Nevertheless if nothing helps… give the experimental driver a try: amdgpu-experimental (version 20200411) from aur.

Seems it has better hardware support.

34

I also already tried it (5.7)
Had a black screen or LDM issue :confused:

35

You forgot this :slight_smile:

36

I didn’t have a black screen or a LDM issue, I thought it would be pointless.
Should I do it even if my DE is displaying ?

Do it when lightdm failed in another tty.

sudo lightdm –-test-mode --debug > ~/output.txt

this will write the output to your home dir.

40

Alright, I’ll try to make it crash.

Is it linked ?

Fm it worked.

Before

Now lutris?

Lutris says you use DRM3 which you need ^^^

What did you do?

edit: could you post a full inxi? sudo inxi -Fxxxa --no-host

43

Well. Those two things :

Specify the correct module order

Even when AMDGPU support for SI/CIK has been enabled by the kernel, the radeon driver may be loaded before the amdgpu driver.

Make sure amdgpu has been set as first module in the Mkinitcpio#MODULES array, e.g. MODULES=(amdgpu radeon) .

Set module parameters in modprobe.d

Create the configuration modprobe files in /etc/modprobe.d/ , see modprobe.d(5) for syntax details.

For Southern Islands (SI) use option si_support=1 , for Sea Islands (CIK) use option cik_support=1 , e.g.:

/etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf

options amdgpu si_support=1 options amdgpu cik_support=1

/etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf

options radeon si_support=0 options radeon cik_support=0

Make sure modconf is in the the HOOKS array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and regenerate the initramfs.

44

yeahs seems this works. at least it uses now DRM3 :smiley:

45

Yup. But passing those options in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT or in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX doesn’t seem to work, at least for me.

Do you know how I could write a clean answer for the problem ? Like with all the parameters of my PC configuration ? So anyone reading the answer could see what he should have to make it work ?

Yeah, I hope using DRM3 will help me !

46

ok now a clean answer:

  1. Add the options to modprobe:
sudo su && \
echo "options amdgpu si_support=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf
echo "options amdgpu cik_support=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf
echo "options radeon si_support=0" >> /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf
echo "options radeon cik_support=0" >> /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf
  1. add this to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf:
MODULES=(amdgpu radeon)

and

mkinitcpio -P

reboot

Then check with inxi -Ga if you use DRM 3 like this:

Is that correct @TheHaricover ?
