Hi
I was on irc a few days ago trying to get the new amdgpu driver up and running on my system. I am able to get the kernel booted successfully, however X via amdgpu is turning out to be a real roadblock. It is the problem with amdgpu_drv.so seeing gbm_create_device as an undefined symbol. From what little I understand, I may be needing a more recent xserver to resolve this...
But even with a non-working X for amdgpu, I'm still seeing some issues with the amdgpu kernel driver:
- booting with dual displays is a problem for me. On boot, the display connected to the DVI-I port seems to get stuck in a loop of attempting to acquire a signal. (The 'DVI No Signal' overlay message flashes and screen blanks repeatedly with no actual output ever displayed) So far I've only connected displays to the two DVI ports (DVI-D and DVI-I)
- xen boot hard locks the system with no ssh access
Understandably, AMDGPU has only recently been released, and hopefully you folks are already aware of these problems. But if not, I thought I would chime in with some user feedback.
Attached should be my dmesg if needed
Many thanks to the people working on this! :)

I don't think that would help.
Does the attached xf86-video-amdgpu patch fix the problem?
If not, you can manually load the glamoregl module in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to pull in libgbm:
Section "Module" Load "glamoregl" EndSection
