That's unfortunate. Which model was it out of curiosity? I know they've had open source GPU support for a long time, so it's surprising that one fell through the cracks.
AMD Radeon HD 8790M in a Dell Latitude, which seems like a predecessor to AMDs "professional" FireGL/FirePro series.
Should be GCN 1.0 so should be supported now, especially if you force the
amdgpu
kernel driver. Although I'm sure you've long since abandoned it.If it was a dual/hybrid GPU type setup which was common at the time, that also complicates things but it should be okay now.
Thanks, I may give that old apart-falling piece a shot.
I was working on integrated Intel graphics most of the time.
