Device initalization failed according to the Xorg logs;
dmesg
or journalctl -k
)No bios update, but you most likely received both microcode updates (which is what will fix/mitigate the Intel issue, the bios is only to ensure everybody gets the microcode update) and firmware updates (from linux-firmware
)
Of course non-mainlined (i.e. not in the linux kernel) firmware is a bit more iffy, luckily it’s getting slowly better with OEMs using fwupd
for those scenarios
Additionally you can try and force use
amdgpu
rather than radeon, by setting the kernel flags:radeon.cik_support=0 radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.dc=1
