[LOG] [AQ] CDRMRenderer: got a high priority context

so it seems like it’s trying to use the wrong GPU drivers while it state to use amdgpu on my configuration :

boot.kernelModules = [ "kvm-amd" ]; 
boot.initrd.kernelModules = [ "amdgpu" ];
services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "amdgpu" ];

so I don’t understand what is going on. again it worked fine with 24.05 so I can just take a rebuild from the past but not very practical to do this long term…

also probably useless but, I tried to install KDE plasma to see if it woud work and it did but took a really abnomally long time to load after the loading animation so on a black screen. and kde is using amdgpu.

I also have an AMD GPU and upon upgrade to 24.11 I’m crashing after signing into gdm. Would like to help contribute to the fix if I can.

Hey, I’m on unstable and used to have this problem with Hyprland, as well as niri being slow. When I removed GDM and used greetd the problem was gone. Maybe try changing the display manager to see if it fixes the issue.

I am using SDDM, not GDM and it doesn’t work for me

Also using hyprland on AMD on 24.11. Works fine with greetd (config) + uwsm + this graphics config.
