Salut Harald, i am not trolling. I am a professional Fedora user an decided to give AMD a chance. I am using a Venus LE [Radeon HD 8830M] with two attached DP monitors that ran out of the box. Yes i also noticed a problem that forced me not to update the kernel for a month, but a put a indicent and got that issue fixed. I is nice to have a card, that is supported out of the box. I am not willing to promise you a problem free switch, but up to know this combination looks more stable to me. Groovie Am 30.06.2017 um 14:17 schrieb Reindl Harald:

Performance might be not as good as with nvidia but the integration is better (on my fedora). Sorry, to mess you up. Bye.

Timely. New kernel 4.11.7-200.fc25.x86_64 Installed. Reboot (bit slow) 2nd reboot (normal) Hey presto. All up and running. Slick IMHO. Thanks Dave P On 30 June 2017 at 15:59, Dave Pawson <dave.pawson(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. Docbook FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk

This makes sense since unlike nouveau, the open source driver for nvidia, radeon developers have access to the hardware api because amd has released the specs. nvidia hasn't released the interface specs for their cards, so the nouveau developers are reverse engineering the interface, a more difficult and error prone operation. The thing I like about using the radeon driver is that it is in the kernel, and so I can build a local kernel from the latest Fedora src.rpm package for rawhide, and run it on my stable release without worrying about video drivers. That just isn't possible with the nvidia closed source driver until nvidia releases a version for the latest kernel. At least it wasn't possible when I used to have nvidia hardware, perhaps it has changed. Running radeon also means that switching between the virtual consoles and the graphical gui is seamless, whereas there used to be a delay and flash when using nvidia. I'm not a gamer, and specs usually show that the latest nvidia hardware has better performance for such tasks, so YMMV.

I tested everything and finally moved to nvidia and never had a crash since. Not blaming the Radeon driver but the integration into the motherboard and requirement for working 3D. Does the Radeon driver support using the GPU for other purposes than just graphics? Like the nvidia cuda drivers? Robin
