Hm. Mine is: |

I don't see that cypress entry (why not? Are you using gentoo-sources?), but |
| 52 |
otherwise it looks the same. If I didn't have all that polaris stuff I |
| 53 |
wouldn't have an X display; that's how I started off, and I had to go |
| 54 |
looking for the right set of amdgpu modules to load. |

We must differ in some other way, I suppose in the way we build our kernels. |
| 62 |
This is my kernel build script on this UEFI box: |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
# cat /usr/local/bin/kmake |
| 65 |
#!/bin/bash |
| 66 |
mount /boot |
| 67 |
cd /usr/src/linux |
| 68 |
time (make -j12 && make modules_install && make install &&\ |
| 69 |
/bin/ls -lh --color=auto /boot && echo &&\ |
| 70 |
cp -v ./arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/EFI/Boot/bootX64.efi |
| 71 |
) &&\ |
| 72 |
echo; echo "Rebuilding modules" && echo &&\ |
| 73 |
emerge --jobs --load-average=48 @module-rebuild @x11-module-rebuild && echo |
| 74 |
&&\ |
| 75 |
echo "Remounting /sys/firmware/efi/efivars read-write" &&\ |
| 76 |
mount -oremount,rw /sys/firmware/efi/efivars && echo &&\ |
| 77 |
echo "Don't forget to bootctl-install the new kernel!" && echo |
| 78 |
|
| 79 |
HTH, but I wonder... |
