Hello, I needed some help with graphics drivers I have a AMD graphics card (r9 280x) I've been using the x86-video-ati driver but I also have the amdgpu driver installed. I wanted vuklan support so I need to use the amdgpu driver. How can I switch between what driver I'm using? lspci -k shows in using the "radeon" driver (which is the ATI driver) I've tried adding MODULES=(amdgpu) in my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and running mkinitcpio -p linux but the kernel still uses the radeon driver. Also I'm using arch and I've installed the xorg-drivers group. I actually tried uninstalling the xf86-video-ati package but even after uninstalling that I was still stuck on the same driver. (I've tried rebooting) Let's say I also install the amdgpu-pro proprietary driver. Is there a way I can switch between the various drivers and how do I check what driver I'm running? Note: I'm checking vulkan support with vkmark and trying DXVK support in Lutris (with wine) -- Dhruva Lokegaonkar dhruva-22dYR/[email protected] -- https://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
