Created attachment 142636 [details] The various logs Dear AMD Team, unfortunately installation of your amdgpu-pro-18.40-676022-rhel-6 driver in CentOS 6.10 goes wrong at many spots. So far I had been using fglrx happily, but now I needed Vulkan support, so I decided to upgrade. Since I got a AMD Radeon R9 290X I followed instructions at https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ and used amdgpu-pro-install --opencl=legacy the script ran through, I rebooted, and got a black screen. Logging in remotely and looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log I saw lots of entries about fglrx. Since your instructions don't mention uninstalling old drivers, and your amdgpu-pro-install doesn't complain, I don't think that's my fault. Next, I uninstalled fglrx, to be sure also amdgpu-pro-uninstall, rebooted, and went for another amdgpu-pro-install --opencl=legacy After another reboot, a 'startx' finally gave me a running X-server, but no OpenGL/GLX (running glxinfo yielded 'no GLX visual found'). Next I checked what amdgpu-pro-install did to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf and found this: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Main" Option "AIGLX" "false" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "radeon" EndSection This doesn't look like it's a proper xorg.conf for amdgpu-pro. After some googling, I replaced xorg.conf with this file: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-amdgpu-pro.conf After an X-server restart, 'glxinfo' in a terminal gave a different error: libGL error: failed to open drm device: Permission denied libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi libGL error: failed to open drm device: Permission denied libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi libGL error: failed to open drm device: Permission denied libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi Whenever there is a permission problem, I try again as 'root', and indeed, things worked. After some googling, I did cd /dev/dri ls -l crw-rw----+ 1 root video 226, 0 Nov 27 23:06 card0 crw-rw----. 1 root video 226, 64 Nov 27 23:06 controlD64 crw-rw----+ 1 root video 226, 128 Nov 27 23:06 renderD128 Then I did chmod a+rw * and got crw-rw-rw-+ 1 root video 226, 0 Nov 27 23:06 card0 crw-rw-rw-. 1 root video 226, 64 Nov 27 23:06 controlD64 crw-rw-rw-+ 1 root video 226, 128 Nov 27 23:06 renderD128 And magically, after many hours of fiddling, OpenGL and OpenCL worked for a normal user. Yupppie! So I figured it's time to file a bug report, ended up at https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install-bugrep.html#generating-a-bug-report This page shows countless commands to run to save my system config. And amazingly, each command is shown with a '$' in front. This means that I cannot just copy the entire script into a terminal, but instead have to do it line-by-line manually, or copy it to a text editor and cut the $s out. Seriously? Hope this report helped to improve things... Regards, Elmar
