And hello Classic, happy new year, I installed the Kernel 5.4.0.2 ready, then I put the Xorg file that gave me MPC which was correct compared to mine and the graphics card started.  My problem was apparently that I deleted the comments in the Xorg file that should be left instead.  I thought that they only served to make you understand how to correctly compile the file and instead I was wrong.  If you need I place the Xorg file that I put to make the card work.  Kernel 5.4.0.2 is what Merklot posted on page 5 of this discussion and should be very similar to that posted by his friend kmarek whom I also thank for his valuable collaboration.  Now I have to solve the problem of the sound card but I have the impression that I will have to wait for them because nobody seems to know anything unfortunately ...

guys I finally solved everything, a special thanks to the friend MPC for his very precious help, he says no but he is much ahead of me with Linux and it shows. Great MPC, thank you all! As a kernel I am using the one posted by Merklot ready and it seems that it works well ...

Hi MPC, happy new year to you and to the whole forum, I have already done what the guide says, as you see above I have reported what the guide says and I showed it to Raptor as well, the problem is which doesn't work unfortunately ... Even if I try to configure the graphical modes, it goes into lockout on restart. I don't know why but there is a problem with the Xorg files, it doesn't read them to me, I sent my Xorg.log.0 file to Raptor to see if they can understand what problem I have ... Listen about do you think the kernel because after the procedure I can't see version 5.5.1 as you and the others see it? It seems that everything went well and yet if I do neofetch it tells me that I still have Kernel 5.3.16 ... Do you have any idea what is missing?

Understdood, in any case I installed what Merklot posted, then i'm also trying complete the session of the guide that always posted Merklot to male the Kernel modification by yourself. After all the procedure it still gives me the 5.3.16 Kernel and it's strange because It seems that everything is going we'll, I don't understand why I don't see it in the neofetch command, the modified kernel. In any case I have problems configuring starting the GPU, i'm also asking Raptor why It doesn't work as soon as I insert the configuration file xorg.conf The system hangs and I have to reboot in server mode to remove It... I don't understand... The file is this:

wow congratulations to you you have done a great job. But listen to a question, what difference is there in your opinion between yours and the one already made published by Merklot on the previous pages, he has both published his with the various steps, and the one already made that you can download from the site and install. ..

so guys, I tried to understand how to activate this graphics card through Xorg, meanwhile I learned that on Fedora there is no Xorg file like on Ubuntu or Debian and that therefore it must be created manually. I used gedit and modified everything to look like this. Now before saving I would like to understand if it is composed correctly or I have to modify something. Above I also posted the result of the grep command in such a way as to make you account for the data that are available to compose this Xorg file ... What do you think? What should be changed in case to be sure it works?

MPC looks at this, I did all the final steps, it doesn't give me errors but when checking the kernel version it still gives me 5.3.16 ... Where do you think the error is? I guess I didn't understand maybe how to do the last steps ...

MPC I managed to understand the problem of the error that the "make oldconfig" command gave me, I lacked 2 commands one was "bison" the other I don't remember exactly at the moment in any case I installed them both, I installed openssl devel as you told me to do and at that point the make -j 'nproc' command worked and the computer started a lot of kernel building work. Finally I ran the final installation commands and apparently managed to complete everything. Thanks again for your guidance. I just have to understand that activating it via x11, if someone can better explain how to do it, I would be grateful, I am one step away. I have to keep both video outputs because I work with 3 hard drives and 3 operating systems and I always have to select the boot from the petit boot which obviously still works with the integrated video. I need to understand how to activate NAVI 10 and keep the GPU integrated. Unfortunately I don't understand much in the current guide.

on Fedora if I remember correctly, there is an x86 version of course, it is missing for Power.  No I can't build it myself ...

So I turn to Q66 which I have already seen to be one of the most experienced of both Linux and Power architecture, if you have any links where you can go find something, give me a nod ...

MPC sorry but apart from that as I said several times I am not a Linux expert let alone a programmer, but I don't think I will install a distro just to use Mame ... There is no patience maybe they will do it later and later  in any case I read that Void is not compatible with Power in any case I do not care Void

MPC so you are not telling me anything, I had already consulted that guide but I did not understand practically anything in particular ... I would like to understand if I have to open that file I was talking about above, if I have to do it via the "sudo gedit" command and what exactly do I have to put in to tell him that I have 2 GPUs to use ... this is my problem now ... I installed the ready-made kernel that posted Meklort so in theory it should be enough just to enable the card and that's it ...

At the moment, let's leave the mistake alone, I'll post it to you later. I'm interested in knowing now how to open and fix the Xorg.conf.d file to tell the system that there are 2 GPUs and that it must use both. To open the file I wanted to understand in the meantime if I can always use the command "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d or I have to use other. Then what to put for the system to use both GPUs ...

Sorry guys but at the level of software dedicated to Power, I was looking for Mame for Power some time ago, I had seen something inherent in our beloved architecture but in the end I did not find anything really downloadable, I read that currently there is not but as usual I will have 'read news that as for VLC is not said correspond to truth so I wonder if you know something more about the MAME situation on Power ... Thanks
