All I could find says no release date set. :( Debian releases approximately every two years, so bullseye will likely be released in 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_version_history Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I have also openSUSE 15.1 and 15.2alpha on the same PC. 15.2 works fine. 15.1 differs little in behavior from Buster, and 15.2's 5.3.18 kernel doesn't help booted to 15.1. Is Bullseye due this year?

Running a 3400G with buster. linux-image-amd64: buster-backports libdrm-amdgpu1: buster xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu: buster firmware-amd-gpu: buster-backports in /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Identifier "Card0" Driver "amdgpu" BusID "PCI:4:0:0" I think that's all the important bits. -dsr-

That should be enough, at least to get a picture on the screen and run X. I am not sure about 3D acceleration, this might need a newer Mesa version than in buster, and there is no backport yet. > The R7 Kaveri motherboard/APU of a friend who is virtually > blind fried.

The R7 Kaveri motherboard/APU of a friend who is virtually blind fried. When he has hardware trouble, it's me gets to figure out howto and fix it. He bought the new goodies on assumption they are enough for support from Stable, but apparently that's not the case. X is not able to run, as Xorg.0.log reports there is no framebuffer device or /dev/dri/card0. Haven't tried Stable because I moved to Testing before I upgraded the hw about a year ago but you might have some luck with these kernels and firmware: https://github.com/M-Bab/linux-kernel-amdgpu-binaries Nowadays I'm on the standard kernel from Testing and all is well.

Is it enough to upgrade to buster-backports kernel and AMD firmware to run Xorg on the 3200G CPU/APU? The R7 Kaveri motherboard/APU of a friend who is virtually blind fried. When he has hardware trouble, it's me gets to figure out howto and fix it. He bought the new goodies on assumption they are enough for support from Stable, but apparently that's not the case. X is not able to run, as Xorg.0.log reports there is no framebuffer device or /dev/dri/card0. TIA -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
