M2 Pro GPU acceleration

Our Neighbors Asahi Linux Ask Asahi

Hello, I just installed Asahi Fedora 38 on a 2023 M2 Macbook Pro. I had to use the expert mode, but there were no firmware options beyond 13.5 (which it selected), so despite expert mode being used, no overriding changes were made by me. I got it installed and everything has been working fine, except I cannot get the GPU driver working and am stuck with software rendering. I was wondering if I had missed something to enable GPU acceleration, or if GPU acceleration is not on the M2 Pro at all yet.

Thanks!

Expert-only platforms are there because they are not complete. Once they are considered to work properly, they will be moved out of expert-only mode.

Gotcha, has support for the M2 Pro been added to the Mesa driver? If so I will dig around and try to figure out why the driver isn’t loading, otherwise it’s just close this and wait.

Either way, thanks!

The issue is most likely known and will probably be resolved by the next kernel and/or m1n1 update.
