I recently bought an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT card. Your 5700 might be too new for Beowulf, I had to jump through some hoops te get my 5600 working fully. Using the 5.10 kernel from Beowulf-backports, Mesa drivers and a bunch of related libraries from a third party PPA, and a hack. I now have 3D virtual worlds and dual screen working fine. No idea if any of that will work for a 5700, since I don't have one. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
