amdgpu strangeness
Posted: 2019/09/24 14:30:36
My system gives inconsistent information regarding graphic card driver:
This is not what X reports:
Indeed, there is no amdgpu driver to be found under /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers
The only amdgpu related thing that yum finds is umr.x86_64 : AMDGPU Userspace Register Debugger.
What's going here?
Why does part of the system believe that my graphics card driver is amdgpu when X doesn't think so?
amdgpu is open source so why can't I find the driver in the standard repos?
AMD provides the amdgpu-pro driver for CentOS but the latest release is for CentOS 7.6 and I have 7.7. Any chance that this would work on standard kernel 3.10.0-1062.1.1.el7.x86_64?
Thanks for any attempt to rid me of this bewilderment or help in any other way.
Cheers,
