Re: [darktable-user] Which config for Darktable

To get AMD opencl on newer cards in Fedora 25, download current CentOS/RHEL amdgpu pro driver (17.10.xxxx). Unpack it and then under root run ./amggpu-pro-install --compute, which just installs opencl support On 2017-06-23 06:11, Patrick Shanahan wrote: * Germano Massullo <germano.massu...@gmail.com> [06-23-17 09:08]: Il 23/06/2017 14:36, Guillermo Rozas ha scritto: Forget using OpenCL without proprietary drivers, but there is a way to use them without having to install it permanently: if you use a Radeon RX card you can simply unpack the proprietary OpenCL driver somewhere and let darktable use it. Honest question: what is the sense of doing this? If one is using the open source drive on "moral grounds", taking the OpenCL blob from it and using it when convenient doesn't make it any less closed. I confess that I don't know the status of the proprietary drivers for AMD, are they fundamentally worse than the open ones? Technological reasons: RPM packages of AMDGPU-Pro are for RHEL/CentOS only. Therefore you cannot install them on Fedora. But a user found out how to use the OpenCL part of them, without having to install the RPMs to be sure, rpm is just a script manipulation placing contained files to particular locations :) no big thing taking a file from an rpm to use for a different purpose or in a different location. ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
