Folks from AMD Graphics team recommended this approach. From their perspective it's not a workaround. They view this as a different architecture for AMD graphics driver on Windows and AMD graphics w/ amdgpu driver. They have different ASL paths used for each. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
