Hello. I’m trying to get my new graphics card (7900 XT) working on KDE Neon. X/Wayland both freeze every time that it starts to ramp up in power usage (~70W). I’ve already exchanged it for a second card and it seems to have the same issue, so I suspect that it’s a driver issue.
I found a few suggestions, but most of them are outdated (6.2 kernel, mesa 23). I see this in my dmesg:
[ 1.975193] kernel: amdgpu 0000:0b:00.0: Direct firmware load for amdgpu/gc_11_0_0_mes_2.bin failed with error -2
Naturally, that file doesn’t exist. When I grep for it, I don’t see it in /usr/lib/firmware, /etc/, or /boot. dpkg says that nothing provides it, although linux-firmware provides the other files.
Is this a bug for linux-firmware?
% dpkg -S gc_11_0_0*
