Hi,
I asked this on /r/EtherMining but the reception was underwhelming, hope it'll be better here.
I decided to get myself a new GPU and fixed on an RX580 (OC). I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.2 and the newest amdgpu-pro drivers, have not tried overclocking or undervolting or flashing, not yet, I want to get it to work first.
The drivers install OK, the card outputs the screen as expected, and dmesg shows that the drivers are being used (even though there are some worrying errors I can't interpret very well), but both cpp-ethereum and the Claymore binary for 16.04 / RX5xx assert that no GPU is present. I've tried a number of combinations on 16.04.2 and 17.04, apt-get upgrades done or not, several tutorials, and I did manage to get a rise out of GenOil's 110 branch, but when asking for a benchmark it always froze at 97%.
Has anyone managed to get this card working under Linux? Any simple way to test the card that I can complain to AMD about if it doesn't work? Other ideas?
