[SOLVED] R9 280 "You need an OpenGL 4.5-capable graphics"

#1 Post by Tenorio Boëchat »

EDIT:
Old title: R9 280 "You need an OpenGL 4.5-capable graphics card to run"
----------------------------------------
Hi,

I'm getting this error when I start a game: Surviving Mars on Steam.
I search around and find that may be my driver. But happens that it alread is the newest version for Stretch.

I searched the manuals and guides, but found nothing specific about the subject.
Incidentally, I found notifications saying that support for the proprietary driver had been dropped.

Can anybody help? Is there a way to use SID driver or even instal the driver from AMD webPage?

Here is the collected information so far:

Code: Select all

$ lsmod | grep amdgpu
amdgpu               1138688  35
ttm                    98304  1 amdgpu
drm_kms_helper        155648  1 amdgpu
drm                   360448  17 amdgpu,ttm,drm_kms_helper
i2c_algo_bit           16384  1 amdgpu
mfd_core               16384  1 amdgpu

Code: Select all

$ apt install firmware-amd-graphics
.....
firmware-amd-graphics is already the newest version (20161130-3).

What makes you believe it's a graphics driver issue? Absent further details, I'd be inclined to suspect an application misbehavior until you can find another Stretch R9 graphics runner with the same application (game) returning the same error message.
Nobody would ever ask questions If everyone possessed encyclopedic knowledge of the man pages.

The open-source amdgpu driver is better is every way, don't bother with the proprietary version.

I'm not sure about OpenGL versions though, my Haswell laptop is pretty poor (Alpine Linux):

Code: Select all

Xanadu: ~ $ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 17.3.6
Xanadu: ~ $

I found the same problem on game forun's solved by driver update.

This is a good question indeed. I search on AMD site and found nothing on "Radeon R9 280" page.

Here is mine:

OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 13.0.6
What does that mean? Is my grafics card even older than yours? Or is it just a matter of versions?

Looking at the result of the last command and not finding quotes about OpenGL support on the page ...
I begin to believe that this is the case. Mabe my solution is to buy a new video card.

The Mesa version is because of software (Debian tends to have older packages) but I really don't know how the OpenGL version ties in (sorry).

I think `glxinfo` would show a higher OpenGL version if I had a SkyLake graphics chip (or similar) but I'm not 100% sure.

I found this:
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A9ri ... eon_R9_290
There I saw that OpenGL version to R9 family goes up to 4.3.
I do not know if it could be trusted, but it falls correctly with my findings.

Thanks to everyone who was willing to help me.

My problem now is: Prices are too high because of bitcoin mining.
