An RX580 is going to be too new for our version of drmkms. I'm not quite sure where the cutoff is for Radeons. Good Linux support sometimes lags behind a cards marketplace debut. src/doc/3RDPARTY says we've got a drmkms that's circa Linux 3.15, which was released June 8, 2014. So, cards that did not yet exist at that point almost certainly will not work well. Some old chips/cards may have gotten rebadged with newer marketing names, but these are a bit of a support gray area.
OK, that makes sense.So perhaps I should reword my inquiry a bit, and ask for suggestions on which video cards folks would recommend. I don't need "gaming", but it would be nice to have support for 2D and 3D acceleration. Also the card needs to support 1920x1080@60Hz with DL-DVI or HDMI output. Hopefully available via Amazon (since they don't have any problem with shipping to the Philippines)... :)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/recommendations. +------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------+ | Paul Goyette | PGP Key fingerprint: | E-mail addresses: | | (Retired) | FA29 0E3B 35AF E8AE 6651 | paul at whooppee dot com | | Kernel Developer | 0786 F758 55DE 53BA 7731 | pgoyette at netbsd dot org | +------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------+
