My motherboard doesnt have video output, only via the gpu.
On another forum someone suggested to add
tahiti_uvd.binx
in
initramfs
Do you know how to do this?
In folder /etc/initramfs-tools/ i have several folders and files
conf.d
hooks
scripts
initramfs.conf
modules
update-initramfs.conf
Must i add to initramfs.conf or modules or other?
Cheers
GaiusMarius, I just want to say, you have enviable and remarkable patience.

The problem is you still don't have a signal on your port vga. That why black screen.
Hi Bourne, after reviewing your link i ended up on a tuto for ubuntu 16.04.
Do you recommend i install this os to follow the tuto?
or
Do you have a suggestion to activate the vga port?
Cheers
From this link what i send they tested. One what I reading on websides your laptop working only with some kernel and some version distribution.
That mean if you doing some instructions the distribution and kernel must be compatibility to your hardware device accelerator graphic card and processor.
Bourne could you please help me out, below id say is the config i could use for it to work:
uname -r
5.11.0-34-generic
Must i simply place this file somewhere? What about the grub kernel? radeon vs amdgpu?
Cheers
I suppouse Torvald here have some guide
Then I understand you go with tuto and ubuntu.
https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/no-no/000146175/installing-and-configuring-amdgpu-pro-in-ubuntu-16-04-linux here on dell but your graphic is there.
From another thread:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/amdgpu
I notice that tahiti firmware is in this list, too.
Yes it is but the problem what is it when he tried updated with Tahiti he missing some files firmware.
He must focus on both things because a accelerator graphic must be compatibility with motherboard what he have on laptop.
It could be propably what I saw Tahiti when he installed mostly drivers was installed properly. It could be missing files from a side on motherboard what blocking signal to vga port. Here is interesting connected with 3 monitors and working. [SOLVED] R9 280X - neither amdgpu or radeon enabled - MX Linux Forum
I wish help fix that problem with this graphic card but I have some motor in my Country. I know if you changed a country in google motor then you get another searching motor and answear. Some countries have a filter do not show some information.
Hi gents, made some progress bought a second hand gpu for testing and reinstalled zorin os from scratch and well its automatically detecting the radeon driver and all monitors (its an hd7950 also).... ive got both currently plugged in. I guess the old gpu has a kind of failure or simply isnt being detected correctly...
Only the opencl 1.2 is missing its seems now since im using the open source driver.
Do you know if the ppa oibaf would solve this? Gaming ect would work then also..
Cheers
I used from here a topic for gaming pro. It helps much to working properly.
So in your old laptop gpu was died what i reading from some websides your problems could be a died gpu?
Hi Bourne, my pc is a desktop (not a laptop). I didn't identify it as a failure just trying to find a solution by all means to have a workable pc... Maybe it isnt dead at all just not recognized by MB..
Cheers
Hello @GaiusMarius and it is good everything working.
I wondering what big all monopoly corporation have idea? All graphic cards price are go to sky. I saw many people buying also threadripper 1920x.
So i understand all people buying everything what exist to buying simple PC.
I don't know but I am scarred this expensive graphic cards?
The once what I heard the new computers will be more office because graphic cards are expensive. Maybe they want people buying xbox or playstation?
I heard on linux you can playing with emulator some games from PS4.
If they have idea selling a pc laptops with arm mobile processors then this laptops not will be a gaming.
Ja crazy times... intrigued to see what happens next..
Im not sure everything is working correctly though. Do you have any suggestions to see if my gpus are setup correct?
I tried to check the OpenCl via this command:
clinfino
which returns:
Number of platforms 0
Do you know how i can make this work?
also when i try :
sudo lshw -c video
output:

opencl - clinfo shows "Number of platforms 0" - Stack Overflow here some green sign best answear
Did you tried this command?
sudo apt install mesa-opencl-icd
here also some solution.

Only noticed 1 fatal error message in the output:
fatal error: cannot open file '/usr/local//usr/lib/clc/tahiti-amdgcn-mesa-mesa3d.bc': No such file or directory
Does this mean the openCl version installed on each is 2.1 :)? Should i try and solve the fatal error also?
Cheers
That path leads to nowhere.
