mystro256/amd-staging-kernel

Description

This is an unofficial Fedora build of AMD's staging kernel with all the security patches included in Fedora and upstream patches from kernel.org. Feel free to bug me if this gets out of date. (I.e. a new Fedora kernel is released)

Due to this being the staging code, it's prone to breakage from time to time. If you're looking for something more stable, check out this repo:

http://copr-fe.cloud.fedoraproject.org/coprs/mystro256/amd-mainline-kernel

This kernel has the upstream code for amdgpu, freesync, DAL, audio over HDMI for the newer cards (e.g polaris), plus everything that has yet to make it into the upstream kernel.

This also includes experimental amdgpu support for Southern Island cards (SI/GCN 1.0) and Sea Island cards (CIK/GCN 1.1). Note that for all cards, installing xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu should be sufficient to enabling amdgpu, but you need to add amdgpu.si_support=1 radeon.si_support=0 or amdgpu.cik_support=1 radeon.cik_support=0 to your kernel parameters for SI or CIK cards respectfully. Note that SI cards are very experimental, and CIK still has some "quirks" to work out from what I see.

Please use at your own risk!
