from Ransu
Sorry for the lack of updates, life got in the way and then th=
is week I made a
stupid mistake on where I was sending data with 'dd'. I didn't lose any
important data but it did force me to have to setup my laptop from scratch.
Good news! As of kernel 4.18.16 I no longer see an issue, knock on wood. I'm
going to give it a week and report back but the AMDGPU driver does not seem=
to
be reloading like mad anymore.=20
Linux Y40-80 4.18.16-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 20 22:06:45 UTC 20=
18
x86_64 GNU/Linux
I get the following two messages whenever I request the AMD GPU with
"PRIME_DRI=3D1" and only when I request the AMD GPU. When I'm not=
making use of
the discrete graphics and only the dedicated Intel of my laptop I do not see
the below two messages repeated over and over anymore, nor do I see any
stuttering.=20
> [drm] PCIE gen 2 link speeds already enabled
> amdgpu 0000:05:00.0: PCIE GART of 1024M enabled (table at 0x000000F400=
000000).
One other thing I should note before I set up the system with AMDGPU by put=
ting
the following kernel command line arguments into my grub config
"radeon.si_support=3D0 amdgpu.si_support=3D1" radeon alone wou=
ld crash my
system. I needed to go into a different TTY before login into XFCE to get
things setup following this page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMDGPU=20

So now that things appear to be working I just have a few more questions.
Does this mean that the discrete GPU should be making use of power saving
features and shouldn't be draining too much power if I'm not making use of =
it?
and
Does my card support AMDGPU-PRO drivers? If so is there any real advantage =
of
using the "PRO" extras over the standard open source driver?
