Whether "normal kernel drivers" work, I have no idea. Fedora 34 installations should never, under any circumstances, install a driver that requires dkms. Packaging out of tree modules is against fedora policy for a number of reasons. Certainly, there are a number of users who have installed proprietary or outside of tree drivers from 3rd party repositories, but rarely is the proprietary AMD driver in that list, as the open source upstream driver tends to outperform it in every way. Honestly, I was not even aware that they were still making releases. Before trying to fix that driver, I would uninstall it and compare the performance of the in-kernel drivers. > > If you give me a link to switch to those, I will give it a shot. > > I am fairly, however, certain that amdgpu is an isolated issue in that particular kernel update. Hope it helps to zero in on the cause. Third party drivers often can break on kernel rebases. Nvidia tends to be pretty good about making sure their driver builds against the latest upstream (released kernel, not development). Others can be anywhere from good, to very far behind in this regard. By choosing to remain outside of tree, or proprietary, there is no way for us to know when they break, and there isn't anything that we can do when it happens. The driver maintainer/distributor would be the first line of support there.
