1 Hello list,
2
3 My VGA card is:
4
5 # lspci | grep VGA
6 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Ellesmere [Radeon Pro WX 5100]
7
8 I've been getting these entries in dmesg every time I boot the machine, ever
9 since I installed the card some months ago:
10
11 [drm:dce_v11_0_afmt_setmode] *ERROR* Couldn't read SADs: 0
12 [...]
13 traps: plugin-containe[6833] general protection ip:7f0a2e1711b1 sp:7fff6f64dc30 error:0 in ld-2.25.so[7f0a2e15c000+23000]
14
15 What is a SAD (other than a seasonal affective disorder)? That library comes
16 from glibc, of which I've had 5 versions or revisions in that time
17
18
19 The error seems not to be doing any harm, but it'd be good to clear it up.
20 Google hasn't helped me. Can anyone offer me a hint?
