Debian 8 (Jessie) AMD R9 280 Issues
Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2016 9:43 pm
Hi there,
I downloaded FAH for the first time over the weekend. I was able to get things set up and running on my CPU fairly quickly but initially had some problems getting the client to see my GPU. After a bit of reading around I realised I needed to switch from using the Open Source AMD drivers to the official binaries.
I started by downloading the most recent driver from the AMD site.
But after running with these I've been getting the following errors in my logs: or
My full log is as follows:
The other behaviour I have noted is that from running I see that the GPU is getting used very little if at all.
I read somewhere else online that it may be a driver incompatibility with the FAHClient so I have tried installing every release of the AMD Linux driver since V14.12 (any earlier seems to have issue with my kernel version) along with the binaries provided through the Debian repositories, with the same behaviour.
I was wondering if anyone had any advice or is running FAH in Linux with an R9 280 and could give me some pointers to a known working configuration I could maybe try?
I realise the issue may be my card but from game play and the fact I seem to be able to compile and run basic OpenCL code I am inclined to believe that is most likely not the case. Does anyone know of any benchmarks which might help rule this out?
Thanks in advance!

aticonfig -odgcI read somewhere else online that it may be a driver incompatibility with the FAHClient so I have tried installing every release of the AMD Linux driver since V14.12 (any earlier seems to have issue with my kernel version) along with the binaries provided through the Debian repositories, with the same behaviour.
I was wondering if anyone had any advice or is running FAH in Linux with an R9 280 and could give me some pointers to a known working configuration I could maybe try?
I realise the issue may be my card but from game play and the fact I seem to be able to compile and run basic OpenCL code I am inclined to believe that is most likely not the case. Does anyone know of any benchmarks which might help rule this out?
Thanks in advance!
