    ROCm DKMS modules

    Huh? What are these?

    Since when does ROCm require kernel modules? DRI exists?

      Technically always has, ROCm comes with a “backported” amdgpu module and that’s the one they supposedly test/officially validate with. It mostly exists for the ancient kernels shipped with old long-time support distros.

      Of course, ROCM being ROCM, nobody is running an officially supported configuration anyway and the thing is never going to work to an suitably acceptable level. This won’t change that, since it’s still built on top of it.
