AMD GPU support requires the `linux-firmware-amd` package. If you have installed
4+
the `linux` or `linux-lts` packages, it will be installed as a dependency. If
5+
you installed a version-specific kernel package (e.g., `linux5.4`), it may be
6+
necessary to manually install `linux-firmware-amd`.
7+
8+
## OpenGL
9+
10+
Install the Mesa DRI package, `mesa-dri`. This is already included in the `xorg`
11+
meta-package, but it is needed when installing Xorg via `xorg-minimal` or for
12+
running a Wayland compositor.
13+
14+
## Vulkan
15+
16+
Install `vulkan-loader`, the Khronos Vulkan Loader. Then install one or both of
17+
the Mesa AMD Vulkan driver, `mesa-vulkan-radeon`; or the GPUOpen AMD Vulkan
18+
driver, `amdvlk`.
19+
20+
## Xorg
21+
22+
Installing the `xorg` meta-package will pull in both `xf86-video-amdgpu` and,
23+
for older hardware, `xf86-video-ati`. If you install `xorg-minimal`, choose one
24+
of these Xorg driver packages to match your hardware. The `amdgpu` driver should
25+
support cards built on AMD's "Graphics Core Next 1.2" architecture, introduced
26+
circa 2012.
27+
28+
## Video acceleration
29+
30+
Install the `mesa-vaapi` and `mesa-vdpau` packages.
