I bought a MSI Bravo 15 laptop and it comes with the Ryzen 7 4000 series processor with an RX5500m graphics processor. It keeps loading the llvmpipe drivers, so graphics acceleration doesnt work, or works extreamly poorly. Can anyone tell me how make the system use the amdgpu drivers? Im at a loss and google searches have turned up nothing but grub entries for older card series.

EDIT:
dmesg contains:
$ dmesg | grep amd [ 0.812462] amd_uncore: AMD NB counters detected [ 0.812464] amd_uncore: AMD LLC counters detected [ 0.813946] perf/amd_iommu: Detected AMD IOMMU #0 (2 banks, 4 counters/bank).

EDIT 2:
nomodeset is on the grub boot command, removing it results in either failing to boot or going to a black screen on login.
EDIT 3:
I can add
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= radeon.si_support=0 radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=1 amdgpu.dc=1 amdgpu.dpm=1 amdgpu.modeset=1
and it boots to the GDM login screen but freezes…no mouse movement or keyboard actions recognized. This happened on the live install disc as well.
