#250128 — Graphics Cards: Radeon RX 6000 Series on Debian-11 (Bullseye):

Hi to all of you on the debian-user list.

Is anyone out there successfully running any of the Radeon RX 6000
Series graphics cards on Debian-11 (Bullseye) installations with *no*
backports?

I ask the above question because I can't see the required versions of
"Navi" firmware; namely "Navi 21" to "Navi 24", available in the package
"firmware-amd-graphics".  Probably a silly question, however I'm asking
anyhow.

Cheers in hope,
BRN.

I think you'll need backports, if I remember correctly. I have 6800 XT, 
been running stable with backports since I bought it, it's working very 
well. Card will work without backports but you may have no 3D 
acceleration. Adding backports repo and upgrading kernel + drivers is 
very easy.

Since then I've upgraded to Testing out of curiosity, but it was not 
necessary, it works just as well as before. Once Debian Bookworm is 
released, I most likely will stay with it during stable cycle, I prefer 
stability of the software over freshness (with extra bugs).

With kindest regards, Piotr.

Hi Piotr (and the rest of the list),
Please accept my sincerest apologies ... I have been offline/out of
range for the last 19 weeks and have only just now read your response.

Your information and advice is most helpful and deeply appreciated.

Many thanks and cheers,
BRN.

No problem at all. Since our last posts, I continued to run Debian 
Testing, which is now frozen in approach to become stable in a few 
weeks. Everything is great since then, bugs have been polished. If you 
want great stability and functionality without excess bugs, I suggest to 
use Debian Bookworm once it is released as Stable, and stay with it. 
Peace of mind for few years.
