I am currently running 4.14.12 modified with the RT patches installed (the kernel provided for Fedora 27 by the CCRMA repository), and it is running quite fine with an Asus HD5450 card. That series of cards uses the older radeon driver and was previously broken for a few releases around the 4.11.x time frame, at least in the Fedora 26 kernels. I do not think Fedora modifies the graphics drivers, so I suspect that a regression with the older cards crept into the mainline at some point and was corrected in later kernels after it was noticed. I pulled the HD5450 card from a machine retired recently, I have been running a newer RX 460 card which uses the amdgpu driver (which replaced the radeon driver for AMD GPU for the latest generation devices). The newer card was prompted primarily by my kids who wanted better graphics for Minecraft, but with the working driver I do not see any noticeable difference in desktop use with a browser, playing youtube videos, etc. The HD5450 is single width vs. dual width, passive heat sink vs. fan heat sink, and lower power. I can recommend it for anything not involving 3D graphics, I used it for several years with no problems until the driver regression in the 4.11.x series of kernels, which as far as I can tell is completely corrected with the 4.14 kernel I am currently running. -- Chris Caudle _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
