The amdgpu module won't load. I tried the default versions that come with the 6.8 kernel and the installer for noble provided by AMD. Neither work.
I am currently experiencing three problems with my new setup. I would like emphasize that this a brand new AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT with a brand new install of Ubuntu 24.10. I have read repeatedly that the "drivers are in the kernel" so I don't need to install anything. However, this setup currently has three problems.
1.) I have to boot in rescue mode. If I just restart the machine I get a "no signal" error from the TV monitor. It has an HDMI 2.0 connection.
2.) My only available resolution is 1360x768. System information says I am using software rendering using LLVM and my CPU. My system can see that the graphics card exists. My monitor is 1920x1080.
lspci | grep -i vga
0a:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 23 [Radeon RX 6650 XT / 6700S / 6800S] (rev c1)
Module amdgpu is not loaded.
lsmod | grep amdgpu
Returns nothing.
3.) The monitor's colours are inverted in Chrome, but normal in FireFox.

site logo in Firefox is orange:
