Shouldn't the Requirements and dependencies be distro-neutral/covering most major distros? The packaging looks like Gentoo. --Morpheus (talk) 07:45, 9 December 2015 (EST)

Nevermind. --Morpheus (talk) 07:47, 9 December 2015 (EST)
I got the dependency graph using gentoo's equery depgraph function, but they're still distro neutral.

Rename article

From Radeon to Radeon (driver).

AMDGPU

Does AMDGPU deserve it's own article? I think it needs a mention at least, being the fastest free-as-in-freedom Xorg video driver and probably a solution to many issues with the Radeon driver. Keboler (talk) 16:22, 4 October 2016 (EDT)
