Cannot access GPU registers #109

Closed physkets closed 3 years ago

physkets commented 3 years ago

Using sudo or a root account gives me the same message as when using a non-root account:

Cannot access GPU registers, are you root?

I'm using an AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U with integrated Radeon Graphics. Is that not supported?

Your distro may be blocking the access, as mentioned in the README.

That is why root access didn't work, that is. Why the other paths failed, I don't know. If there were no other error messages prior to that, it'd be up to you to find out, you have the hw.

I'm using Arch Linux, and installed thus using the build-script in the AUR.

The integrated graphics card is pretty new: Vega 7, and I'm using the driver that's part of the Linux kernel. Nothing external or proprietary.

There were no other error messages. How do I find out what the issue is?

clbr commented 3 years ago

You'd need to add printfs to track what happened, start in detect.c amdgpu path.

Okay, never mind; I was using v1.2, and after building the current git version, it works.
