I tried searching around, and saw some stuff for mkwd, but I am trying to figure out how deal with a black screen on boot after replacing my nvidia 1080 with an AMD 6900XT.
You likely need to replace the GPU driver.
Should clarify I can get to the terminal on said black screen. Will look at doing that live environment trick.
Think I got the video driver removed, but still just the terminal and a black screen on boot. No grub or anything.
Also did sudo mhwd -a pci free 0300 and I see a new item for it and the nvidia one gone when doing mhwd -li
# to see what you have installed and whats available:
mhwd -l -d | less
# to remove anything unecessary, like nvidia driver in this example:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia
# to (force) install the open drivers, which is what you want for amd:
sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-linux
# reboot:
systemctl reboot
Think I did the first three, trying that reboot
Nope, no improvement
Then this is probably needed:
And maybe also look in /etc/X11/
for any old conf files that might be ordaining nvidia.
I went nuclear already and wiped the drive for a new install. Don’t want to deal with the whole set of files I have laying around randomly that was nvidia to launch anything.
Will say the performance improvements getting off of nvidia is significantly noticeable
