HP 15z-eh000 Vega 8 - Kernel does not have the appropriate drivers

Hardware Support
#1

Greetings,

Some time ago I had problems with the screen resolution of my laptop that ended up solving in a not very correct way, then I have realized that I cannot adjust the screen brightness and that I cannot run complex graphics (games), since the My GPU drivers do not exist in the Linux kernel version 5.4, this because my GPU is from Q2 2020, I was investigating thoroughly and in several forums it is said that Vega GPUs need at least version 5.7 of linux for work properly, I tried to update the kernel to version 5.6,5.7, 5.8, 5.10 and 5.11 and none have allowed me to start Zorin.

What do you think I can do to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance.

PD. => G Translator :laughing:

#2

Do you have the ‘noapic’ parameter added to grub?

#3

Yes, I have added it and have done several more methods without any results, the screen brightness is always at maximum.

#4

Very frustrating…

Secure boot disabled, APIC disabled… The kernel should be a Mainline kernel.

#5

I have tried to disable / enable the secure boot without apparent result, it should be noted that for both cases I tried with and without the APIC parameter, I did the same with both versions of the Zorin kernel, 5.4.77 and 5.4.6

I also installed the private AMD drivers without success, once installed I could not boot Zorin, I tried several times to make sure it was not a bad installation. I tried about 5 times

:sob: :sob:

#6

Have you reinstalled the open source xorg drivers and managed to get Zorin to boot in the meantime?

#7

If his additional drivers section is locked on manually installed driver, he should input this command in terminal to get access to his Xorg driver.

CTL ALT F2

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

Go back to Additional Drivers, select Xorg, restart computer.
