amd radeon rx 7800 xt

[ffgdad]

I just bought a new video card. I installed it. I can select it in the edit screen. My screen goes blackk like it is trying to work and nothing.

 

I then started unraid and told it to start up in the gui on startup. The screen goes black. I dont even get the unraid user interface. 

 

Does unraid not support my video card. Or is there some driver I have to add to the linux software?

You can try blacklisting the GPU driver:

i dont understand. what would blacklisting the driver do? black list must mean something else than what I am thinking. Also where do I put that blank config file? What is the driver called? Do I download a driver from techpower and delete the text on the inside?

See the link above for the instructions, scroll down to the Linux Kernel sections since for some reason the direct link is not working.

i found this video by Space Invader One. It has worked for my RX 580. But is not working for my RX 7800 XT.

Are you trying to pass through the GPU to a VM or just use it to boot Unraid?

[ffgdad]

ok I dont know what happened. I redid the vbios in user scripts again. I dont think I did anything different. My rx 7800 xt is now working on my VM.

 

Thank you God for SpaceInvaderOne.

you to JorgeB thank you for helping me also. Im sorry I was busy looking other things up I didnt keep track of this thread a whole lot. Thank you for your time.

I made another windows 11 machine. I did what I thought was exactly what I did before. The Driver ROM  didn't work this time.  I will try to blacklist the gpu now. I will follow the link. but is there a walk through that can tell me step by step how to do that?

 

i cant even boot into gui mode wtih that video card.

It's just typing a single line in the CLI.

[ffgdad]

so I create a file in the location  /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf,  and in that file i write,    "echo blacklist i915"?

 

When I made the rom last time using what I found in the above video. It made a file called "rx7800xt.rom. should I name the file rx7800xt.conf? and inside the file write "echo blacklist rx7800xt?

 

And how do I get there without pulling the thumb drive, putting it in my laptop and creating the file. then putting it back in my tower and rebooting.

[ffgdad]

in the upper right hand corner of the UI. there is an icon   ">_"    this is the terminal. i went into this and typed "echo blacklist rx7800xt". it came back with some stuff I don't remember. It didn't say it didn't work. I still cant use the video card in the VM.

No, you type in the CLI, or copy/paste the line below

 

echo "blacklist radeon" > /boot/config/modprobe.d/radeon.conf

 

 

Can't really help with the ROMs.

 

[ffgdad]

I don't know what the "CLI" is. is that the command line terminal?

Yes.

I ended up putting team viewer on the vm while it was in vnc. I then changed the video from vnc to the amd video card. I restarted the VM and networked in using team viewer. I was then able to update the driver for the video card while using team viewer. After that the monitors came on. I hope this will be the way I can do it every time.
