I installed the AMDGPU-Pro driver following the instructions from AMD. Kernel shows neither 'AMDGPU-Pro' nor the original 'radeon' driver "in use" but does show they are available.



Screenshot: The module is installed but not running on the kernel



I also followed the instructions from the following article to ensure that the driver will load on Kabini / Sea Islands but that still didn't help:




So basically if you want to get AMDGPU working for Sea Islands and Southern Islands GPUs on Linux 4.13+, you need to append "radeon.si_support=0 radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=1" to your kernel command line when booting the system.




How do I get my kernel to use the driver?

          To answer my own question:
          Ditch AMDGPU-Pro for KABINI and go with the Radeon driver ("radeondriver"). OpenGL acceleration is provided with radeon driver despite not having a visible libGL.
