[TLDR]
Anyone know where I can find proper NAVI10(AMD firmware) driver that is Open source.
These are the steps I tried(For others with the issue):
Hardware
AMD RADEON RX 5700 XT/ NAVI10
My screen has both displayport and HDMI. And has max 4K resolution.
I want my screen output to be at least HD(1920x1080). However my screen seems to choose 1024x768.
When I run xrandr i get:
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 default connected primary 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 76.00*
On boot after selecting PureOS and before I put in password for my encrypted partition. I get the message.
[drm:amdgpu_pci_probe [amdgpu]] ERROR amdgpu requires firmware installed
amdgpu: See https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware for information about missing firmware
So I ran
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo fwupdmgr upgrade
sudo isenkram-autoinstall-firmware
isenkram has output(cut for feaseabiltiy):
info: looking for firmware file rtl_nic/rtl8168h-2.fw requested by kernel
info: some kernel driver requested extra firmware files: Big list of amd stuff
etc. …
info: unable to find any local firmware info for dist byzantium, using info for sid
info: locating packages with the requested firmware files
info: determining whether enabling other components is required
info: No new firmware package with requested firmware detected.
not solved the issue.
I generated an xorg.conf with:
Xorg :0 -configure
And pasted that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
That leaded to unability to start the the xorg server.
manually starting showed:
AMDGPU(1): [KMS] drm report modesettings isn’t supported.
I also tried cloning linux-firmware.git and put the amdgpu folder in /lib/firmware/amdgpu (this folder needed to be created). and ran
sudo update-initramfs -c -k all
Cloning the drive seems to solve the issue.
However I think it is not FSF approved firmware. It is blobware if i am correct.
Anyone know where to get a proper NAVI10 firmware.

I saw it’s source was leaked. However that is not official driver.
