Issues with AMD GPU

I installed Fedora 41 Workstation today because I got an AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT after using an NVIDIA GPU for the past 2 years.

I noticed 2 issues:

There is this graphical glitch which also appears in screenshots so I am ruling out a hardware defect

2nd issue is that after trying to wake up the computer from sleep, the screens stay black saying no signal, but the keyboard and mouse light up and the computer engages the fans and the watercooling pump. I tried setting amdgpu.runpm=0 with no luck. Windows 11 24H2 wakes up fine.

Help appreciated.

Had the same wake problem, Following information found from many searches: I have msi motherboard. In bios found there is a wake setup. Wake on lan, or usb, something like that. Last option was to enable OS. That did it! No more problems with restore from sleep!

I tried that too but it didn’t have any effect

Power management requires coordination between vendor firmware and linux, so new kernels may require updated vendor firmware. The ACPI open standard tells linux how to discover and configure the hardware. Some vendors support acpi_osi=linux on the kernel command line, others may need system-dependent entries.

I don’t think it’s motherboard related since it worked fine under F40 + Nvidia a few weeks ago

6

The glitch is possibly a result of a driver bug relating to power management:

If that is the cause, you could disable this PM feature by adding this kernel boot parameter:

amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10

Please note that disabling this feature could increase power usage slightly, but since you are not on a laptop that probably is not a problem.

I tried that and these glitches don’t go away, I must note that these only appear on the title bar on the Terminal when the window is unfocused (I just found that out while trying)

I have the same problem. The solution doesn’t work.

I’ve tried acpi_osi=linux as well, and that one didn’t work either.

This is my configuration:

I think it might be related to the kernel and amdgpu

10

Something bizzare just happened, while recording using GNOME’s screenshotting util, the AMDGPU driver resetted the GPU which resulted in GNOME and XWayland crashing. I think the amdgpu driver is faulty

11

To test that, you could try running your PC without that driver loaded and see if any of the problems continue to happen. Your video might be limited in many ways (resolution, refresh rate, bit depth, etc.), but if XWayland still crashes, then you would know that it is not because of the amdgpu driver. To run your PC without the amdgpu driver loaded, add rd.driver.blacklist=amdgpu and modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu to your list of kernel parameters.

You can confirm that the driver isn’t loaded by looking at the output from lsmod and/or lspci -k. (The lspci -k output should not show Kernel driver in use: amdgpu.)

Thanks, will try that when I get home

13

So I blacklisted the driver and the artifact disappeared. The sleep issue still persisted. 3.11.6 came out and it still didn’t fix the issues

So the problem with the screen not coming back up is probably due to something going wrong deeper in the kernel. I see an old report where someone said the kernel parameter acpi_sleep=s3_bios resolved that sort of problem. [1] Does that parameter workaround the resume from suspend problem for your case?

Reading further, that workaround is unlikely to work on UEFI systems. I’ll keep looking.

15

odd thing is that there are no journald logs.

I could try installing another Linux distro to see if it works there

16

There are some reports of issues that look similar to yours here: Issues · drm / amd · GitLab

It’s on the AMD issue tracker, but some of them are reporting that the problems appear to be happening in the kernel power management code. I didn’t dig through them thoroughly, but you might find a workaround in one of those bug reports.

17

These are issues related to S4 sleep, I’m having issues with S3 sleep. But yeah it could indicate that something is off with the kernel’s power management

18

There is a tag for that too: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues?label_name=S3 :slightly_smiling_face:

Edit: Also, it’s more to dig through, but FWIW, here is a link to all open power management bugs reported at kernel.org: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&order=changeddate%20DESC%2Cbug_status%2Cpriority%2Cassigned_to%2Cbug_id&product=Power%20Management&query_format=advanced&short_desc=.*&short_desc_type=regexp

Added amdgpu, f41, radeon, suspend-resume, workstation

20

Power management needs support from vendor firmware, so it is not unusual to find vendor firmware bugs causing kernel issues.
