:)

out of the box (amdgpu driver). FYI I also have it working on an intel gfx
system too - no issues there. have had that one going for maybe 1.5 years? i
have in the past had it work on nvidia drivers too. sorry that it's a tale of
"it just works" with no help there, but suffice to say it can and does work for
people, so maybe there is something more specific you are doing that others are
not that causes this?
