Finally was able to order an RX 6800, it should be delivered sometime next week. I want to make sure it’s plug and play when it gets here so I was trying to update packages.
Kernel: I’m running 5.91 so I should be good there
Mesa is 20.2 as of the last stable Manjaro update
Last step from what I’ve read is to install linux-firmware-git package from the AUR. But it gives me a pgp key error upon building. The only fix suggested on the AUR page here: AUR (en) - linux-firmware-git
Is to import the pgp key with:
gpg --recv-keys 4CDE8575E547BF835FE15807A31B6BD72486CFD6
However, that also runs into an error: gpg: keyserver receive failed: General error
Has anyone recently installed linux-firmware-git and had success?
Well, its not to hard to try. Worst case is that you need to manually start to the multi-user.target from grub and switch back. Personally I’m currently using the git package from the AUR, since i had problems with the package from the normal repositories. Am running on Kernel 5.10 though, so the mileage may vary.
Got mine today aswell
Did some testing and yes… the firmware in the official repositories seems to have all the necessary parts.
Keep in mind though having 2 monitors with different refresh rates does not tend to go well right now, no matter which package.
