		superkuh on Dec 14, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Linux 5.10 As a linux gamer the most exciting part about 5.10 for me is open source AMDGPU support for Vulkan for the old AMD HD 7000 series cards abandoned by AMD (ie, HD 7950). Because Valve went back on their promise for Vive VR OpenGl support and only supported Vulkan my Vive HMD has been a paperweight on linux until now.

it's a pity that amdgpu DC still doesn't have support for analog outputs.

I have an old VGA hooked up as an additional display just because i can, but i have to set `amdgpu.dc=0` to make it work.
