Ubuntu - GPU - AMD GPU - Setup Radeon RX 7900 XTX
Approach
- Update the system.
- Shutdown the system.
- Swap GPU card.
- Boot the system.
- This should work fine, since minimum support is via the kernel amdgpu.
- Optionally, purge nvidia packages.
- Install Mesa.
NOTE:
- The NVIDIA packages can be kept, and will not cause any trouble but will just waste space.
- Mesa is the open source implementations of OpenGL and Vulkan that AMD GPU users typically use.
Install the AMD setup script
Download the .deb file from https://www.amd.com/en/support/linux-drivers.
Install the .deb file:
dpkg -i package_file.deb
Run the amdgpu-install script:
amdgpu-install
NOTE: Run the amdgpu-install script without any arguments, should be sufficient.
Optionally Purge nvidia drivers
Remove the Nvidia packages and any Nvidia related kernel arguments you might have (DRM Kernel Mode Setting or whatever).
NOTE: The Nvidia drivers will not load if there is no Nvidia card installed.
Optionally Install Vulkin
Install the AMD vulkan package to get vulkan support.
Install Mesa
sudo apt install mesa-utils
NOTE: Mesa is the open source implementations of OpenGL and Vulkan that AMD GPU users typically use.
