What about AMD GPUs? #1

How would I go about translating these steps for an AMD card? The only things I can think of are:

  1. Changing the modprobes to the required AMD variants
  2. Skipping the VBIOS part (IIRC this isn't required on AMD cards)

Am I missing anything else?

Also, is this process in any way restricted to xorg? I'm using Wayland myself, and it's better to be sure that it won't be a problem. Thanks :)

So to change the modprobes all you need to do is find what the names are and replace the nvidia ones. I don’t know if you need the patches vbios for AMD cards but you could try it without it and if it doesn’t work then do it. This is also not restricted to xorg as all you need to do is kill the display manager, which afaik is as easy if not easier on wayland.
