Hello,

I have upgraded my graphics card from an RX570 to an RX7800XT.
The graphic card drivers fails to load, and I am stuck at low resolution and no animations.

dmesg log:

The graphic cards gets correctly detected:

Can anybody help me out?
I don’t understand much of graphic drivers.

Kernel: 6.11.5-200.fc40.x86_64
Distro: Fedora 40

dGPU’s rely on firmware, a binary file containing proprietary code that runs in the GPU. You log suggests you don’t have the required firmware.

Have you installed amd-gpu-firmware.noarch: Firmware for AMD GPUs package?

Newer dGPU’s may require vendor firmware updates, and it can take some time for new firmware to make it into linux distros.

amd-gpu-firmware was already installed.

In the meantime, i did an upgrade onto F41 and it did not help either.

Check that the installed files are not missing or damaged.

rpm --verify $(rpm -q amd-gpu-firmware)

Maybe a kernel paramater is set?
What is /proc/cmdline?

5

Added amdgpu, f40

Hey, thanks for the replies.
I have decided to reinstall Fedora. It now works like a charm.
It seems that the amdgpu or the kernel was corrupted in some way.
As I have only saved /home, I don’t have access to logs / debug information anymore.
