How to setup AMD R9-380 to run DOTA 2 on Linux?
nandimithra Aug 23, 2018
I've been trying to Run DOTA 2 on my Ubuntu for sometime now without any success.
I'm using a R9-380 AMD GPU. I recently tried Ubuntu 18.04 still i have had zero success.
I've tried using ukuu to update to different versions of newer kernels without any success. Ubuntu doesnt even boot without the nomodeset parameter even right after a fresh installation. AMDGPU-PRO doesnt work either.
I would really appreciate to get some information about findings the correct drivers/components to install and run DOTA 2 on my Ubuntu installation.

Thanks in advance peeps :)

I don't have a r9 380, but I had a r7 260 I remember that u needed a kernel with amdgpu support for sea island. r9 380 is volcanic island I would have thought that volcanic amdgpu parts would be enabled by default in recent kernels.

Maybe xorg is using the radeon driver instead of amdgpu, check if you have a file called 50-device.conf (or any file that has device in it's name) in the directory /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. The file should look like this

# Having multiple "Device" sections is known to be problematic. Make
# sure you don't have in use another one laying around e.g. in another
# xorg.conf.d file or even a generic xorg.conf file. More details can
# be found in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32430.
#
Section "Device"
  Identifier "Default Device"

  Driver "amdgpu"
#
#  ## Required magic for radeon/radeonhd drivers; output name
#  ## (here: "DVI-0") can be figured out via 'xrandr -q'
#  #Option "monitor-DVI-0" "Default Monitor"
#
EndSection   


then also check that you have a kernel version greater than 4.15, there has been a lot of fixes up made on 4.15.

PS now that I notice the date of your post you should have figured this out.
