A week ago I compared use of my old GCN#2 Kaveri iGPU using the brand specific amdgpu display driver provided by xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu to using the default generic display driver modesetting, using glmark2, and the difference was trivial: default 7.0.12 amdgpu module/KMS: 2067 default 7.0.12 amdgpu module/KMS, amdgpu device driver: 2050 More detail in <https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1262791#c6>. > Config: > /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config contains: > allowed_users=console > startx and lightdm both work.-- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
