  • Oh sorry, I misunderstood, so you actually get locked into a low mclk under specific display configurations? I've genuinely never heard of or personally experienced that across a breadth of hw and sw configs.

    I'm wondering if it could be worth probing the power play sysfs interface or hwmon the next time this happens to try and understand what's happening there.

    Do you use client apps to interact with tuning settings like LACT? Can you link me to an existing bug report so I can follow up with engineering?

  • Can you elaborate on your display config?

    You kind of alluded to part of it there; it's not so much a bug in sw/fw as it is a hardware limitation at both the adapter and display side. The variables for displays are vertical blanking intervals (and differences between panels), as well as total display bandwidth.

    with RDNA2, a feature was implemented in DAL to leverage VRR in order to allow a single connected display system to achieve a lower mclk, and thus lower idle power draw. With RDNA3, hardware changes (MALL specifically) broadened this capability two concurrent displays. Even then, it's not bulletproof.

    The display eng team has more or less exhaustively worked towards this over the course of RDNA3's lifespan; their work is applicable to both Windows and Linux.

  • Do you have an OSD for active refresh rate built into your displays? FreeSync / VRR can be managed directly by your DE settings

  • I think you went from a 25.10 branch at a point where the KMD split had already occurred. This means that support for kmd3 devices (RDNA3+4) was not present, which lead to the abject chaos you saw on windows

    I'm curious about the network remark though. Was this on windows 10 or 11? Can you tell me which platform (motherboard chipset) this is with?

  • I'm not sure I understand this post. did something not ship according to schedule for pixelfed? and if that's the case, why is it a problem?

  • how is it a sub par GPU given it targets a specific segment (looking at it's price point, die area, memory & power envelope) with its configuration?

    You're upset that they didn't aim for a halo GPU and I can understand that, but how does this completely rule out a mid to high end offering from them?

    the 9000 series is reminiscent of nv10 versus vega10 GPUs like the 56, 64, even the Radeon 7; achieving equivalent performance for less power and hardware.

  • no it's fine, I thought you had the inside scoop there for a sec 😅 I'm sure we'll see an android build eventually.

    either way, I think we're pretty well served for Firefox forks across desktop and mobile

    I'll give it another crack with this patch though.

  • Is Firefox tolerable to use on a pi 5 or 500+?

    Jump

  • I'm really sorry, but I'm unable to get through to this website on the Pi 5 using ProtonVPN. I'm still getting that access denied dialog.

    I'm able to get through on my work system via the corp VPN, I'm not sure why. I can see what you mean though, that website is awful even on an over-provisioned workstation.

    I don't suppose you have a similar site to test against? if it's any consolation, I'm able to load up and navigate absolutely bullshit websites (in terms of bloat and performance) like ali express just fine.

  • no prob! this is kind of embarrassing, but I'm not sure if that site is available outside of the US

    Might need to use a VPN to access so may kind of skew my perception of how it performs, but I'll try to let everything load before i poke around it

  • In general it's fine but I can take a look at that for you. On one card I use fedora 43 (custom upstream cherry picks for out of tree hw) and on another, I use opensuse tumbleweed. I'll check in with both as part of tonights upgrades
