Great to hear the AMD packages are getting fixed. Thanks for copying
that here. I guess I have 3 paths to follow:

1. trying to get "Regular AMD GPU acceleration" (built-into kernel) working 
(see below),
2. awaiting AMD GPU graphics acceleration (if (1) doesn't work),
3. awaiting AMD GPU compute (ROCm).

My results (let me know any other info needed):

```
username@hostname:~:0$ glxinfo | grep Accel
MESA: error: ZINK: failed to choose pdev
glx: failed to create drisw screen
    Accelerated: no

username@hostname:~:0$ lspci -v -s c5:00.0

username@hostname:~:0$ uname -r
6.8.0-45-generic

username@hostname:~:0$ lspci -v | grep -i vga
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 
21 [Radeon RX 6800/6800 XT / 6900 XT] (rev c1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
14:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] 
Raphael (rev c2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

```

(in case relevant, the DisplayPort 1.4 cable is plugged into the GPU --
not the motherboard's output. Display works but, alas, no hardware
acceleration.)

On (2) if we can't get (1) working, should I hope (2) will fix it? (I'm
not expecting you to know everything, just wondering what's my best path
forwards, please?)

On (3), can understand your point re. AMD needing to fix their end. As I
said above, nice to hear that's moving forwards. Thanks for the update!
