The drivers are targeting enterprise so it is understandable that distro choice is limited, but with the upcoming ROCm in Blender this can end with a lot of troubles for Linux desktop users. Either this installer can be modified or Linux users of different distros than Ubuntu/RHEL will need to compile ROCm drivers from source. For the version 21.40.1 AMD provides direct link to one small executable that is requesting the rest of the packages automatically over the network. AMD changed their Linux driver distribution method. I can launch v2.92 with OpenCL support on my RX580 I have now the ability to also test future builds which I had not really considered before. Then for version 2.92: mkdir ~/blender-gitĭownload libraries - a must (I have tried building them but it is a waste of time): Sudo apt-get install build-essential git subversion cmake libx11-dev libxxf86vm-dev libxcursor-dev libxi-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libglew-dev I just followed the documentation and can summarize it here:

Make sure to pull the right branch as blender 3.0 is now (as the time of this post) the master branch and very much in alpha version. I decided to compile blender which worked successfully for me by following this guide: With regards to Blender v2.92, I tried the flatpak version but there is no amdgpu version integrated into flatpak so the available v2.92 on flatpak does not have amdgpu support.įrom the packages, only v2.83.5 is available. I also disabled the blacklist that I guess, came from my destructive testing with v20.50.

After boot, I just loaded the module using sudo modprobe amdgpu and it worked. When I messed my install with 20.50, I rebooted and amdgpu was gone with other video driver resulting to the system falling back to a 1024x768 resolution.Īfter checking /etc/modprobe.d folder. amdgpu-install -no-dkms -opencl=legacy,pal

I tried the version 20.50 and that messed up my system pretty badly due to the kernel 5.11 and me experimenting with the amdgpu installer with DKMS - not fully surprised by the result. Hey wanted to report an evolution on my setup as I have upgraded and can run blender 2.92 successfully with OpenCL for my RX580.
