I would suggest to go higher and try 6.16
Hi, I updated to 6.16, Still no luck,

I am on x11, Didnt find amdgpu in Xorg log
grep -iE "amdgpu" ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log
Hmmm...
You notice that the other entries state the
All but the AMD card.
Have you tested the new release of Zorin OS 18 (beta) yet?
Hi,
I finally got it working, And here is what the problem was and how I solved it, On wayland
On Zorin OS 17.3 (Ubuntu-based), the external monitor was not being detected when connected to an AMD GPU.
Even though amdgpu was the expected driver, lspci -k did not show Kernel driver in use: amdgpu.
Checking dmesg revealed:
Direct firmware load for amdgpu/psp_14_0_4_toc.bin failed with error -2
Direct firmware load for amdgpu/gc_11_5_2_pfp.bin failed with error -2
Direct firmware load for amdgpu/sdma_6_1_2.bin failed with error -2
...
amdgpu: Fatal error during GPU init
This indicated that the required AMDGPU firmware blobs were missing, causing the GPU driver to fail initialization — and thus no monitor detection.
Diagnostics We Performed
- Checked which kernel driver is in use:
lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'
Showed Kernel modules: amdgpu but no Kernel driver in use: amdgpu
dmesg | grep -i amdgpu
→ Found repeated Direct firmware load ... failed messages and Fatal error during GPU init
sudo update-initramfs -u
→ Still warned about missing firmware files.
## Solution: Install Latest AMDGPU Firmware
We resolved it by installing the newest firmware directly from the official linux-firmware repository
# 1. Install git (if not installed)
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y git
# 2. Backup existing firmware (optional but recommended)
if [ -d /lib/firmware/amdgpu ]; then
sudo cp -r /lib/firmware/amdgpu /lib/firmware/amdgpu.bak.$(date +%F)
fi
# 3. Get the latest firmware from kernel.org
rm -rf linux-firmware
git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
# 4. Copy *all* firmware files into place
sudo cp -r linux-firmware/* /lib/firmware/
# 5. Regenerate initramfs
sudo update-initramfs -u
# 6. Reboot
sudo reboot

Glad you are up and running. That was quite a teaser.
I am curious if:
this means that the sourced firmware from above is not up to date...
I assumed that the generic-firmware does not contain the drivers for my latest graphics card. So directly downloaded from the git repo.
