Bug#1052714: firmware-amd-graphics: Missing firmware for AMD Radeon RX 7000 series cards

[Mikolaj Kuranowski]

Package: firmware-amd-graphics
Version: 20230515-3
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: mkuranowski...@gmail.com

In my particular case with the RX 7800 XT, I'm stuck with a 1024x768 resolution
on a 4K display.

The issue stems from missing firmware, as seen in dmesg (excerpt below).

Debian Testing and Sid has linux-firmware version 20230515. Firmware for the
new RDNA3/Navi31/RX 7000 series GPUs was first introduced on 2023-07-24, and
are first available in upstream version 20230804. Arch Linux provides linux-
firmware 20230804 and I can confirm the GPU works correctly there.

This reddit thread suggests using the latest firmware tarball from
kernel.org:
https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/17umedg/fixed_amd_rx_7800_xt_gpu_on_debian_unstable/

A (more) frequently updated firmware-amd-graphics would be more
favorable, maybe also for stable-updates?

Best,

Christopher

Seconding the suggestion for more frequent firmware updates to
better align with the kernel packages.

Maybe these could be provided in experimental/rc-buggy?

I had a problem with my RX 7900 XT where it would reboot on resuming
from suspend, which was fixed by grabbing the latest amdgpu firmware
from the kernel tarball.

Greetings,
Markus
