Description Jose Manuel López 2024-06-10 10:54:45 CEST

Description of problem: In the Mageia 9 release notes, under ‘AMD proprietary driver’, it is specified that it does not work for Mageia 9 and that work is in progress.

This should be changed, since a version of the AMDGPUpro and ROCM-opencl drivers for Mageia 9 has already been released.


How reproducible: Go to "Release Notes", section "AMD proprietary driver".

Release notes is describing the state when Mageia 9 ISOs got released.

We usually do not update the progress of functionality, support, versions.
- But as we already say it is being worked on, I think we can add an update notice.

Do you think you can complete the section
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Setup_the_graphical_server#AMD_proprietary_drivers ?

- and then I can update rel notes to point to it :)

As Morgan indicates in comment 1, I have updated the wiki section, copying the information we gave in the announcement about Opencl, which I think is enough.

There he explains the implementation of the AMD drivers that we have made and how to install the two versions.

I have also done the same in the corresponding section of the Mageia release notes, indicating it as an "Update".

Check and if no one thinks otherwise, we can consider the bug closed.

Good work on the Wiki :)

I shorted the rel note update, pointing to the other place.

( Remember to always keep each subject in rel note (and errata) as short as possible to make their total size reasonable )

(And as for rel notes is is unusual to add stuff at all, but in this case it is really helping users to choose Mageia :) )

Thank you
