AMD Readies More Kernel Graphics Driver Code For Linux 6.11, Enables DCC For RDNA4


On Friday more AMDGPU/AMDKFD kernel driver changes were submitted for the upcoming Linux 6.11 cycle by way of DRM-Next

We're nearing the end of feature work to DRM-Next before the Linux 6.11 merge window begins in mid-July while this latest AMD pull request continues preparing for upcoming RDNA4 graphics hardware among other changes. Delta Color Compression(DCC) is also now enabled for the AMD GFX12 graphics IP block that is for RDNA 4 hardware. That builds atop AMD pull requests from prior weeks around more RDNA 4 enablement and other bits already queued in DRM-Next.
