Arch Linux

I have actually logged without isues on AMDGPU kernel driver. It looks like its only RADEON problem. Well in this case i can say a lot of SI GCN 1 cards will not work properly in arch

I am also having a problem running mesa version 23.1.0-1 on AMD graphics hardware, but **not** with the previous version (23.0.3-1).

Immediately after I ran a system-update 23.0.3-1 to 23.1.0-1, I logged out, and Plasma's ctrl+alt+del "logout screen" was glitched in a way that no text showed up... and then, upon returning to the X display manager after logout (the one I'm using is lightdm), it too displayed nothing but gray rectangles with no actual text visible. I then tried a full reboot, but the problem in lightdm was still happening. I then tried typing my password and pressing Return to log in, which resulted in a black screen, though I'm pretty sure that Plasma actually was running (because I switched to a text console and ran `ps axuf` to look for Plasma-related running processes).

So, then I downgraded to version 23.0.3-1 of mesa (and also mesa-vdpau) and used systemctl to restart lightdm, and this time it displayed the login screen correctly. This seems to indicate that a bug introduced in the new version of mesa is the cause of the problem.

The hardware that I was using when I ran into this problem was the Radeon R7 integrated GPU in an A10-7890K APU. In case it helps, here's the "extended renderer info" section of glxinfo's output when running on the old version of mesa:

Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer):
Vendor: AMD (0x1002)
Device: KAVERI (, LLVM 15.0.7, DRM 2.50, 6.3.3-arch1-1) (0x130f)
Version: 23.0.3

I hit the same problem today. My system is a very old AMD E1-2100 with integrated Radeon HD Graphics card.

Dupes  FS#78597   FS#78629 

Confirmed. AMD A8-6410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics. Works fine when I regress to 23.0.3-1

Upstream bug report: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/9034

Confirmed. Bonaire XTX [Radeon R7 260X/360]

I got issue too with last mesa mesa 23.1.0-1 and Intel driver i915: opengl doesn't work with enlightenment -> E engine switch to 'software'
Downgrading to previous version 23.0.3-1 solved issue

Just to Confirm Problem on CPU: AMD PRO A8-8650B R7 4C+6G and Graphics (integrated) GPU: AMD ATI Radeon R7 Graphics

Upgrading to mesa 23.1.1-1 also works. Currently mesa 23.1.1-1 is only in the Extra-Testing repo which I did not wish to enable so I manually downloaded it from the Arch Package Archive

I had the same issue as described here. I switched to amdgpu kernel driver (as described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU si_support=1)
After a reboot i can now run with mesa 23.1 without problems! I had stuck to the radeon kernel driver for too long apparently. Turns out my Radeon 280X works better than ever with the amdgpu driver.

@Martin, thank you, switching the kernel module also works for me.

Switched to amdgpu on current linux v6.3.4.arch1-1 and custom vanilla kernel 5.15.113. Both work with my cik (Sea Island) graphics card.

Unless the incomming mesa v23.1.1-1 solves this issue it might be good to add this to the ATI page in the Arch wiki?

In case my wording was not clear. mesa 23.1.1-1 solves the issue. It can be downloaded from the Arch Linux Archive at https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/m/mesa/mesa-23.1.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Upgrading to mesa 23.1.1-1 changes nothing for me (intel i915), i get same issue: opengl doesn't work with enlightenment. Staying with mesa 23.0.3-1 solves problem

Additional context: kodi-gbm is unusable due to video corruption with Radeon GPU when running mesa 23.1.0-1. Downgrading to 23.0.3-1 solves fixes it.

CPU: AMD A8-7600 APU (Kaveri)
GPU: integrated (GCN2, Sea Islands)
Kernel module: radeon (default)

Upgrading mesa to 23.1.1-1 in the extra fixes the issue.

Fixed for my AMD Radeon R7 240 too with 23.1.1. Thanks!
