I thought it was GCN 1.1 that was getting rolled for the public for AMDGPU with 4.9. I think 4.8 has fixed some of the DPM issues with Hawaii. Were they planning on rolling support for the rest of the GCN versions in 4.9? I thought that 1.0 needed more work than 1.1.Waiting for kernel 4.9 to migrate to Arch and have my precious amdgpu and AMDGPU-PRO drivers
Mint takes a little bit to get working from what I recall. With Ubuntu 16.04 I was able to boot (with DPM disabled because of the stupid bug with my GPU,) and install AMDGPU-Pro. I've heard that GCN 1.2 has far fewer issues with it though and should be able to run AMDGPU without any extra tweaks to the kernel. For me, the point of moving to Linux was to get away from Windows considering the last two major updates crippled my machine in both cases so, I have other motivations to do it.With built in BASH shell for Win10 anniversary edition I haven't reinstalled Mint. Getting drivers to work for my FuryX under mint was a nightmare for me.
I do wonder if this release of AMDGPU-Pro will let me compile it against the 4.8.3 kernel. I removed it because I couldn't get AMDGPU-Pro compiled with it as the last version carped about the kernel version not being in the right range.
