Bug Description

I'm seeing this in the xorg log:

[ 429.296] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/amdgpu_drv.so
[ 429.296] (II) Module amdgpu: vendor="X.Org Foundation"

[ 429.297] Module class: X.Org Video Driver

And then

[ 429.384] (EE) AMDGPU(0): glGetString() returned NULL, your GL is broken

[ 429.385] (WW) AMDGPU(0): amdgpu_glamor_pre_init returned FALSE, using ShadowFB

Acceleration isn't being loaded, and kodi reports llvmpipe is being used.

Does xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu need recompilation for xorg 1.20.13?
