#221140 — Can't get my Debian laptop to use my Radeon 520 Mobile graphics card

Hello everyone,

my laptop has two graphic devices. According to my hardware probe it
does not utilize the actual graphic card or at least something seems
wrong with it. I tried installing additional driver packages:
xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu  mesa-va-drivers but it did not change
anything it seems. From other probes I see linux does support it on
other laptops. I wonder what am I missing?

Keywords are "hybrig graphics" and "PRIME". Maybe, these links can be helpful:

https://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PRIME

Thank you Jörg-Volker,
I have been trying around quote long but I have not managed to make my
Radeon card show up for xarand as described here:

#221190 — Re: Can't get my Debian laptop to use my Radeon 520 Mobile graphics card

Try it without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and read the Debian Stretch part in
the Debian wiki. What's the output of the "xrandr" commands listed in the wiki?

Regards,
Jörg.

#221228

Thank you Jörg.
So I followed the instructions here as AMD GPU from what I read should
support my Radeon 520 Mobile
https://wiki.debian.org/AMDGPUDriverOnStretchAndBuster2

But I have problems with the installation of both versions 19.3 and
19.5. My kernel is 5.4.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.4.19-1 (2020-02-13)
x86_64 GNU/Linux
Since there is no linux-headers-5.4.0-4-amd64 package I assume I need
linux-headers-5.4.0-4-common but installation still fails.

The make.log says:
/var/lib/dkms/amdgpu/19.30-934563/build/include/kcl/kcl_drm.h:6:10:
fatal error: drm/drmP.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden / File
or directory not found

libdrm-dev is installed.
I'm confused why it says "Building initial module for 5.5.0-1-amd64"
while I don't have that kernel installed.

sudo dpkg -i amdgpu-dkms_19.30-934563_all.deb

I'm not sure why xrandr command you refer to specifically. This one?
xrandr --listproviders

>From which repository did you get your kernel?
In case of a missing file I consult https://packages.debian.org/ "Search the
contents of packages". There is also the package apt-file.
The package linux-headers-5.4.0-4-common from bullseye contains a file
/usr/src/linux-headers-5.4.0-4-common/include/drm/drmP.h

I don't have access to that GPU or experience with Radeon 520 Mobile.
According to https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=pci%3A1002-6660-103c-8331
it should be supported by Linux kernel 5.4.

Regards,
Jörg.

#221340

Hi Jörg-Volker and Felix,
appreciate your help!
Here is the complete output for: sudo dpkg -i
amdgpu-core_19.30-934563_all.deb amdgpu-dkms_19.30-934563_all.deb
https://pastebin.com/kadr0nyH

My sources list is (apart from docker, and skype repos):
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib

I did not install that kernel manually, just what I get by "apt dist-upgrade"
And I can confirm that the file exists on my system:

ls /usr/src/linux-headers-5.4.0-4-common/include/drm/drmP.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-5.4.0-4-common/include/drm/drmP.h

@Felix, yes, for firmware-amd-graphics  apt says it is the newest
version: 20190717-2

#221484 — Re: Can't get my Debian laptop to use my Radeon 520 Mobile graphics card

As far as I understand, kernel 5.4 supports your GPU.
What is the outcome of the two commands

$ lsmod | grep amdgpu
$ find /lib/modules -name 'amdgpu*'

The packages you try to install are not from Debian, maybe they are not up to date.

Regards,
Jörg.

I will keep trying, especially when I am on kernel 5.5 :)

Is firmware-amd-graphics installed?
