Professionelle Grafikkarte AMD FirePro 2100 unter Debian installieren

Die Inbetriebnahme einer professionellen Grafikkarte AMD FirePro 2100 gestaltet sich unter Debian sehr einfach, wenn auch ein kleiner Trick nötig ist. Der Hersteller bietet unter folgendem Link die Treibersoftware als Download für RedHat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Ubuntu und SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop an: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/workstation?os=Linux+x86_64#pro-driver

Für Debian lädt man einfach die Ubuntu-Software herunter, schließlich basiert Ubuntu auf Debian. Im Download-Paket amdgpu-pro-17.40-492261.tar.xz¹⁾ befinden sich diverse Debian-Pakete (deb) und ein Shell-Skript, welches die Installation der Pakete durchführt. Führt man dieses Skript (als root) aus, erscheint die Meldung

Unsupported OS

Von soetwas lässt sich ein abgebrühter Programmierer wie ich es bin natürlich nicht aufhalten. Einfach das Shell-Skript mit einem Texteditor wie nano öffnen und nach dem String Unsupported OS suchen.

nano amdgpu-pro-install

In der Funktion os_release() finden wir den String in Zeile 57. Einfach in Zeile 49 ubuntu durch debian ersetzen und schon läuft das Skript durch. Rechner neustarten und das neue Kernelmodul wird sofort geladen und läuft einwandfrei.
