HoloISO RDNA3?

[HopelessRespawner]

Hey All,

I'm planning to put together a 4k AMD Mini-ITX Steam Machine basically. R7 7600X (waiting for X3D), RX 7900 XTX, DDR5, etc.

I think my biggest question is around how driver's work. Will I have an issue with using RDNA3? Driver support for a brand new card? Will the custom steam image even be able to leverage the power? Anyone do a build with a 6900 XT or similar?

Sure it would! All it needs is just new amdgpu driver and firmware blobs, nothing more!

I don't quite understand. Would these be things I could get from AMD (like newly released drivers) or is this work required on your side once they are finally released?

I could be wrong but from what I understand most amd drivers are baked into the Linux kernel unlike windows where you have to install them so as the card is released the repositories I imagine would be updated and it would work on its own as far as you're concerned at least lol

So I've managed to get my hands on a 7900 XTX.

I also see that there are firmware blobs here https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/ and supposedly mesa 22.2+ is getting drivers for newest AMD card support.

How does one pull these together into a working graphics driver solution for Holoiso?

@HopelessRespawner Hi, have you managed to get it working?
HoloIso was working fine for me with mesa-git (including new LLVM) but I could not get kernel 6.1+ set up.

Any advice would be appreciated.

So currently max graphic card for HoloISO 6900 xt?

I think it might be updating soon, I've been keeping an eye on the telegram. For now I've finally gotten Nobara 37 working with everything and I've been playing there instead

Install for 7900 XTX and my newer Mobo/Processor working mostly out of the box (WiFi was a little finicky)

You got further than I could, this languished for a bit due to hardware issues that I finally worked out but long ago. Beta HoloISO won't even boot the installer on my current setup
