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 :)
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.
