--- Comment #1 from qnerd <qnerd@posteo.org> ---
The same is still true for amdgpu-pro version 18.40-x

Would somebody with ties to AMD comment on this?

Is it just an obsolete feature which is not supposed to work?
Removing the paragraph from the current amdgpu-pro documentation
would clarify the matter then.


Regards,

--- Comment #2 from Jeremy Newton <Jeremy.Newton@amd.com> ---
Sorry, I thought I responded to this already. PX is not supported on the PRO
driver anymore. It seems we forgot to put in a deprecated message in the docs.
I'll try make note of it for future releases.

We recommend using the all open driver for mobile uses and using PRIME for
switchable gfx.

You can install the all open driver by running the "./amdgpu-install" script
with no parameters. If you need vulkan, install the package "vulkan-amdgpu"
after the driver is installed.

If you need to know to use PRIME, there's a good resource on the ARCH Linux
wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PRIME

Thank you, that clears the situation.

I am aware of using the all-open variant using PRIME,
and indeed it does work quite nicely.

What about OpenCl though?
Can you get away using the all-open driver and just
installing the opencl part via --headless?
Would you be able to access both graphic cards via OpenCl?

--- Comment #4 from Jeremy Newton <Jeremy.Newton@amd.com> ---
You can add the --opencl parameter to the all open install as well.

For example:

./amdgpu-install --opencl=pal

This would install the all open stack plus the OpenCL stack for Vega onwards.

The OpenCL stack is separate, so it should work over either variant.

I'll discuss with the team and add some clarification w.r.t. openCL in the
documentation. As for PX, I added a note about the deprecation in the docs, but
it didn't quite make the 18.50 release posted yesterday. It should be available
in newer builds.

Thanks for the bug report!
