I am also looking for ways to have a 4K 60Hz (with 4:4:4, a must for PC use) TV (43" so I don't care about DPI) running Qubes 3.2 with latest 4.9 kernel. I'll have to buy a video card, and I was looking at the AMD RX560 (which is Polaris 11) since it does have true 4:4:4 4K60 HDMI 2.0 and Dom0 with kernel 4.9 has the module for Polaris 11 (see /lib/firmware/amdgpu/), so that side is covered. The problem comes from kernel 4.9 release notes, where it says they added AMDGPU but to use it: "you'll need X.Org Server 1.19.0 and xf86-video-amdgpu 1.2.0 too." And this seems to be a problem because Qubes 3.2 Dom0 is Fedora 23 based, which has Xorg 1.18.3, and lacks X driver for amdgpu (see https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu/overview/). Maybe this is why X can not start on your case. Does anybody have a RX5* AMD card working on Qubes (even if not at 4K)? How? Xorg.0.log please? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
