I think you'll need backports, if I remember correctly. I have 6800 XT, been running stable with backports since I bought it, it's working very well. Card will work without backports but you may have no 3D acceleration. Adding backports repo and upgrading kernel + drivers is very easy.Hi to all of you on the debian-user list. Is anyone out there successfully running any of the Radeon RX 6000 Series graphics cards on Debian-11 (Bullseye) installations with *no* backports? I ask the above question because I can't see the required versions of "Navi" firmware; namely "Navi 21" to "Navi 24", available in the package "firmware-amd-graphics". Probably a silly question, however I'm asking anyhow. Cheers in hope, BRN.
Since then I've upgraded to Testing out of curiosity, but it was not necessary, it works just as well as before. Once Debian Bookworm is released, I most likely will stay with it during stable cycle, I prefer stability of the software over freshness (with extra bugs).
