from Alan W. Irwin
Well, after 1.5 (successful) days with the remote graphics exp=
eriment, I
decided instead it made more sense to go after the quicker acting instabili=
ty
that I have previously experienced in direct graphics mode. So just now I =
have
started
a direct graphics experiment after a Debian Testing upgrade which included =
the
following firmware and mesa changes:
firmware-amd-graphics updated "(20180825+dfsg-1) over (20180518-1)&quo=
t;
mesa updated "(18.1.7-1) over (18.1.6-1)"
In addition for this experiment I installed the amd64-microcode package
that contains "microcode patches for all AMD AMD64 processors".
Also, as part of this experiment I have continued with the idle=3Dnomwait k=
ernel
parameter as verified by=20
irwin@merlin> cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=3D/boot/vmlinuz-4.17.0-3-amd64
root=3DUUID=3D1e45a1ee-a5d6-4327-9a7b-2663ffc0b157 ro rootwait quiet idle=
=3Dnomwait
N.B. note those kernel parameters do not include any amdgpu-related paramet=
ers.
Do you recommend any such parameters for the RX 550 such as amdgpu.dc=3D1 =
which
is sometimes recommended for older versions of AMD new-generation graphics
hardware?
