AMD Promotes Navi 14 Linux Support Out Of "Experimental" + Fixes For Raven Ridge
With the initial Navi 14 support to be found in the Linux 5.4 kernel releasing this weekend the GPU ASIC (along with Navi 12) have been marked as experimental and thus not enabled by default unless passing a special module parameter to the kernel. But now at the last minute this support has been deemed non-experimental for Navi 14.
After the original Navi 12/14 open-source driver support was published, it was then marked as experimental. Under that experimental state, the hardware initialization only happens if amdgpu.exp_hw_support=1 is set as a parameter for the AMDGPU kernel driver.

mesa 19.3.0-rc4
Hi list, I'd like to announce mesa 19.3.0-rc4 is now available. We're starting to slow down a bit in terms of the number of patches being backported, but there's still a fair number of opened bugs in the release tracker: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/milestones/5. As such I'm predicting at least one more -rc will be required before the 19.3 release, I'll update the calendar accordingly. Among the changes in this release aco dominates, with anv and freedreno no far behind. We've reverted an underspeced egl extension that was causing regressions, as well as stopped modifying Khronos headers. There's also so fixes to i965, core mesa, llvmpipe and st/mesa. Dylan

Mesa 19.3.0 Not Expected Until December - RC4 Released With ACO Fixes
Mesa 19.3 had been expected for release next week per their original release calendar, but as we are used to seeing for these quarterly feature releases, at least one if not more weekly release candidates tend to be needed for ironing out bugs. As such, Mesa 19.3.0 is now solidly looking like at least an early December release while Mesa 19.3-RC4 shipped on Wednesday.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
