[OpenIndiana-discuss] Video cards (or not)

[stes at telenet.be]

I'm not familiar with AMD Ryzen 9 9900X so I had a look at the specifications,

https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/desktops/ryzen/9000-series/amd-ryzen-9-9900x.html

where the Graphics Model is indicated as (builtin) AMD Radeon Graphics

If you have such a system, perhaps you could try to build amdgpu

https://www.illumos.org/issues/17212

I have no idea whether those drivers support the graphics capabilities of the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X.

There's a feature request that a KMS kernel module is required

https://www.illumos.org/issues/15417

David Stes
