PC Drivers & Software

[Amdebian]

Hello,

I am am a Debian user who has a laptop with Nvidia dgpu and Amd igpu. I have managed to install and configure the Nvidia drivers, but sadly not the Amd. My laptop is using the intel Pcle/SSE2 driver together with the Nvidia driver instead of the Renoir with Nvidia. Long problem short, does anyone know how to switch the Pcle/SSE2 driver without removing the Nvidia driver?

Here is the latest drivers for your Ryzen7 4800H APU. It updates the APU and the internal AMD graphics driver. The Nvidia graphics update comes from Nvidia. I use the Nvidia Geoforce Experience app to update my RTX2070.

Thanks for the reply! I am however wondering how I actually install the driver, what is the command for installing the APU?

The person that replied to you stated they use the GeForce Experience app to update, which tells you that they didn't read your question as GeForce experience only exists on Windows.

Under Linux there is no amd driver to install, the AMD module (driver) is called "amdgpu" and it's part of the Linux kernel as AMD have open sourced this module. AMD do provide a set of .deb packages for "pro" support which breaks OpenGL ES support (EGL), and is generally not needed unless you're doing compute or using the radeon renderer in blender.
