Description yousifjkadom@yahoo.com 2016-09-13 09:56:04 UTC
Hi. I have Lenovo ThinkPad e550 laptop with dedicated VGA with is:

AMD Radeon R7 M265 (2GB)

It is not supported yet. Please give it support in next future releases of Fedora.

I already post about this issue in Fedora support forum at following link:

http://www.forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=311408

They inform me that official drivers from AMD not compatible with Fedora 24 because Fedora 24 not support fglrx (see comment 2 in thread in forum)

I e-mail AMD about this issue but no response from them although I received an automatic response & automatic ticket no. from them !

Comment 1 Laura Abbott 2016-09-23 19:13:05 UTC
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************
 
We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 24 kernel bugs.
 
Fedora 24 has now been rebased to 4.7.4-200.fc24.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.
 
If you have moved on to Fedora 25, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 25.
 
If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Comment 2 yousifjkadom@yahoo.com 2016-09-24 07:56:11 UTC
Hi. Thank you for your kind attention for this bug.

I just upgraded my system to last kernal version (on Fedora 24 x64 cinnamon edition). I'm now on kernal 4.7.4-200.fc.x86_64 

Error still existing & AMD Radeon dedicated VGA still not supported. My system still not recognize AMD Radeon R7 M265. System information only show Intel HD Graghics 5500 (build in integrated with motherboard card)

Comment 3 yousifjkadom@yahoo.com 2016-10-01 09:00:32 UTC
Hi. I just update my system to last kernal. Now I'm on kernal version:

4.7.5-200.fc.x86_64

Still same problem existing & AMD Radeon didecated VGA not working. I receive error message on boot screen.

Comment 4 yousifjkadom@yahoo.com 2016-10-13 17:47:35 UTC
I examine Fedora 25 X64 as live USB OS.

1st I have positive think: on booting from USB, I did not see error message : [ xx.xxxxx ] 0000:05:00.0 failed VCE resume (-110) which was appearing on booting Fedora 24 live USB OS. 

But when I enter to setting then select details but it show me in Graphic line: "wayland" - name of new display system - only !! no Intel HD Graphics 5500 neither AMD Radeon !

Why no - even Intel - names for VGA displayed at all?

How can I test whither my VGA supported both build in & dedicated (most importantly dedicated VGA)?

Comment 5 yousifjkadom@yahoo.com 2016-10-17 20:51:52 UTC
I'm on kernal 4.7.7-200 with Fedora 24 & issue still same being not fixed yet.

----------------
No one answer me how to test whether Fedora 25 beta solve this issue or not while GNOME device info display is currently bugy does not show VGA ?

Comment 6 yousifjkadom@yahoo.com 2016-11-05 09:38:02 UTC
Hi. I run lspci command on USB live Fedora 25 Beta 1 GNOME X64

It yeld the following:

It seem that dedicated VGA AMD Radeon R7 M265 still not supported (SHOW NO "rev xx" at end of it's statement

Also other devices have issues:

Also no (rev xx) at end of it's statement.

Best

Take the output of "xrandr --listproviders" on Fedora 24 X64 Cinnamon edition (real - on hard installed - OS):

Providers: number : 3
Provider 0: id: 0x7b cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 6 associated providers: 2 name:Intel
Provider 1: id: 0x51 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 0 associated providers: 2 name:OLAND @ pci:0000:05:00.0
Provider 2: id: 0x51 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 0 associated providers: 2 name:OLAND @ pci:0000:05:00.0

Comment 8 yousifjkadom@yahoo.com 2016-11-12 09:30:52 UTC
I'm on kernel 4.8.6 (Fedora 24 X24 Cinnamon edition) & still no support till now !!

Is there a possibility to give support for this VGA ?? 

Is there a site provide a non-official driver support for this VGA & being compatible with Red Hat & Fedora ??

Comment 9 yousifjkadom@yahoo.com 2016-11-17 19:13:19 UTC
Hi. I detect on Yum extender (DNF) the following package:

xorg-x11-amdgpu 1.1.2-2.fc24

Does this package support my dedicated VGA ? How can I know about this ? I'm very afraid to try it without permission from you because no available data about it & it may break my system. 

Can I try it on live USB Fedora 24 X64 ? Fedora live USB OS has no persistent value & every thing deleted after restart so can not restart after installation.

Please your kind response.

Comment 10 yousifjkadom@yahoo.com 2016-11-19 13:58:10 UTC
I upgrade Fedora 24 to last available kernel 4.8.7-200.fc24.X86_64 & installed on it xorg-x11-amdgpu 1.1.2-2.fc24

But still Radeon dedicated VGA not worked though it is worked on other laptops that use only one VGA.

It seem that the cause is that my laptop is a hybrid system.

Comment 11 yousifjkadom@yahoo.com 2016-11-24 21:18:22 UTC
Hi. I test Fedora 25 X64 Cinnamon edition (Xorg have no Wayland) today & installed on it amdgpu package (see screenshot 1) then log out session then log in again & run:

xrandr --listproviders

command WHICH SHOW ME 2 ONLY (see screenshot 3) !! while on Fedora 24 show me 3 !!! What is this ?!!

I run lscpi -vv command but not working ! Then run command lscpi -nn & show me out put (see screenshot 4).

But system information from GNOME setting DOES NOT SHOW AMD RADEON VGA ! It show only Intel HD VGA. (see screeenshot 2).

Please I does not understand ! Does Fedora version 25 Cinnamon edition support my hybrid system or not ? Does AMD Radeon R7 M265 VGA supported or not ?

Comment 16 yousifjkadom@yahoo.com 2017-02-08 17:49:19 UTC
Hi. I got knowledge from Fedora forums that support to my dedicated AMD Radeon VGA is implemented in Linux Kernel recently but DISABLED BY DEFAULT due to an issue that Linux kernel developer team work to fix it...... .

Please do you know (even in approximate) at which version of Linux Kernel they will enable this support by default ? I'm on 4.9.7-101 & still  not enabled ! Can you inform me for how long I will wait ?

Bug still existing.

Please your kind fix for this.

Comment 19 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 23:00:49 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 20 yousifjkadom@yahoo.com 2017-07-30 13:27:18 UTC
I upgraded my Fedora 24 X64 bit Cinnamon edition to Fedora 26 X64 bit Cinnamon, but issue is still existing & my Fedora 26 DOES NOT RECOGNIZE AMD dedicated VGA at all !!!
