drivers - AMD rx 480 on 16.04 mesa - Ask Ubuntu
has succeeded installing open-source mesa driver rx 480 in ubuntu 16.04?
according phoronix articles, free driver should similar or better vs amdgpu-pro (binary blob) http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=radeon-rx-480-drivers
using default kernel 4.4, card working using software render (llvm-pipe). after installing 4.8 or 4.9 kernel ubuntu-kernel ppa (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/), got kernel panic or blank screen (not responding anything)
i using oibaf ppa https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers
i did download polaris10_mc.bin
, placed /lib/firmware/amdgpu
didn't https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/307603
so answer is, 16.04 not have polaris (rx 480 470 460) firmware, can't run.
you need install .deb package future release, e.g. http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/all/linux-firmware/download
you need @ least kernel 4.7 http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ,
updated mesa; e.g. oibaf ppa: https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers
