Support for accelerated video decoding is provided by libva-mesa-driver and lib32-libva-mesa-driver for VA-API and mesa-vdpau and lib32-mesa-vdpau packages for VDPAU. Optionally, for 32-bit application support, install the lib32-vulkan-radeon or lib32-amdvlk package to match the native package installed.When the amdvlk package is installed, it sets itself as the default Vulkan driver: see Vulkan#Selecting via environment variable if you need to have both drivers installed (e.g.Test with only vulkan-radeon first: although not appearing as the first provider of vulkan-driver (due to its alphabetical order), it avoids some issues that have repeatedly been reported about amdvlk.For the DDX driver (which provides 2D acceleration in Xorg), install the xf86-video-amdgpu package.For 32-bit application support, also install the lib32-mesa package from the multilib repository.Install the mesa package, which provides the DRI driver for 3D acceleration. Owners of unsupported GPUs may use the open source ATI driver. AMD has no plans to support pre-GCN GPUs. This driver supports Southern Islands (SI) cards and later. AMDGPU is the open source graphics driver for AMD Radeon graphics cards from the Graphics Core Next family.ĭepending on the card you have, find the right driver in Xorg#AMD.
