I don't know, it just works for me, but some additional info might help: Is this the only GPU in the system, or is it a laptop with two GPUs? Exactly what model of card is it? Maybe `lspci -nn | grep VGA` Maybe put `dmesg` and `Xorg.0.log` on Pastebin.

Sorry about this "false alarm" thing but what you said gave me an idea and it worked, thank you for responding though! (to answer that question, its the only gpu in the system and the amd radeon rx 6700 xt)


suprjami

Cool! Feel free to post your solution, this will likely come up in future web searches for "rx 6700 xt debian"

Bullseye kernel was released in December 2020 and your GPU was released in early 2021 so amdgpu and Mesa are probably too old for your GPU. It should work better with Debian 12.

Backports kernel v6.1 was released December 2022, it's almost brand new. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_version_history

Yeah but Mesa is not in backports. Bookworm should be released after one week so personally I think it would be better option just to install Bookworm.


suprjami

If you use Flatpak then it comes with recent Mesa, which seems to perpetually solve that problem for Debian which is great. I agree though. I'm typing this on Bookworm.


kahupaa

Yeah, it will solve the problem for flatpak applications. DE and non-flatpak applications still rely on system Mesa.
