22:35 Mangix: Venemo: AMD R7 260 or something like that. I run it with si_support=1
22:35 Mangix: Trying to get screen recording working
22:37 Venemo: Mangix: can you get me the output of "RADV_DEBUG=info vulkaninfo" (preferably in a pastebin please)
22:38 Mangix: hrm I don't have vulkaninfo installed, wonder what package provides it
22:39 Venemo: depends on your distro. on Fedora it is called vulkan-tools
22:39 Venemo: if you don't have that then just please paste your full dmesg output
22:39 Mangix: arch linux
22:41 Mangix: lmao what
22:41 Mangix: https://gist.github.com/neheb/54f57280b29b46b9782e0cc4b28d10bc
22:41 Venemo: like I said please paste the full dmesg output then
22:43 Mangix: https://gist.github.com/neheb/fcf6c6856c3cd992e6d8ee9425bda315
22:43 Mangix: I am somewhat shocked. I thought the main point of amdgpu for this hardware was vulkan support
22:44 Venemo: yes, it is, and it is supported
22:44 Venemo: works here on the same hw
22:46 Venemo: according to your dmesg, you've got a Cape Verde chip. this has a VCE1 video encoder which isn't yet supported by amdgpu. you are in luck though, because i am just these days working on adding that support.
22:47 Venemo: this is actually the last missing feature from amdgpu for that generation of gpus
22:47 Mangix: interesting. i wonder why I read it was 2.0.
22:48 Venemo: it isn't an R7 260
22:48 Venemo: at least according to Wikipedia the R7 260 would be Bonaire, one generation newer than what you have. (that is if you believe Wikipedia)
22:48 Mangix: Anyway, if you noticed, I'm running kernel 6.17.2. .3 crashes the kernel. I suspect but have not verified that it's because I have dc=1
22:50 Mangix: oh wait a minute. does vulkaninfo rely on X11?
22:50 Venemo: no
22:50 Mangix: I'm running hyprland, which is why I ask.
22:50 Venemo: w.r.t crashing on 6.17.3 I heard about it but haven't tested myself. honestly it sounds like they backported something incorrectly, but who knows
22:51 Venemo: about vulkan, you should install radv, otherwise not sure why it may not work. I am not an Arch expert unfortunately
22:52 Mangix: ...that was it
22:53 Mangix: I would have thought mesa includes it
22:53 Mangix: seems to be called vulkan-radeon with pacman
22:54 Venemo: distros are a bit weird about packaging mesa
22:54 Mangix: https://gist.github.com/neheb/a5756a2baa16fb6ab6281836fa1efbee
22:55 Venemo: yeah that confirms the same info that you had in your dmesg
22:56 Venemo: if you are brave enough to build your own kernel I can give you a patch series to enable the video encoder. otherwise, cross your fingers that it makes it into Linux 6.19
22:57 Mangix: video encoder support requires amdgpu changes?
23:02 Venemo: yes
23:02 Venemo: each hardware block on the GPU needs support by the kernel in order for user space applications to use it
23:05 Mangix: makes sense I guess. I spend a bunch of time the other day looking through mesa source wondering why it wasn't working.
23:06 Mangix: *spent
23:06 Venemo: mesa supports it, that's not the issue
23:17 Mangix: test
23:18 Mangix: it seems my IRC client ate my message
23:19 Mangix: anyway, I mentioned a guy asking me to test DC and suspend on 6.18 and me complaining that the AUR package wasn't building
23:27 Venemo: let me know how it goes
