Hello,
I'm trying to install amdgpu drivers for amd a10-7800 CPU on Debian Testing ..
I've installed "xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu" and graphics/X still fails due to missing drivers.
On last stable Debian I only had to do "apt install firmware-linux" for the same CPU/graphics.
But, now when I try with "apt install firmware-linux" it fails.
I'm asking for your suggestions, thank you.

Re: amdgpu - Debian Testing
The amdgpu drivers are already included in the kernel, no need to install anything.questlinq wrote:I'm trying to install amdgpu drivers
Confirm this with
Code: Select all
lspci -k | grep -iA3 'vga\|display\|3d'
You don't need xserver-xorg-video-ati but xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu will provide the amdgpu DDX drivers. They're not actually needed though, your card should also be able to use the modesetting DDX drivers built into the X server itself.questlinq wrote:I've installed "xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu"
You should post (a link to) the X.Org logs for the failed session.questlinq wrote:graphics/X still fails due to missing drivers
That should work, did it pull in firmware-amd-graphics?questlinq wrote:On last stable Debian I only had to do "apt install firmware-linux" for the same CPU/graphics.
If you have a very new card then you may need newer firmware than Debian are currently providing, you can try MX Linux's firmware package instead (ported from Ubuntu):

@ Head_on_a_Stick
Thanks for your fast reply.
Found a mistake in my /etc/apt/sources-list.
I had to add "contrib non-free" - after that I was able to install drivers by runing "apt install firmware-linux".
