AMD releases AMD Software: PRO Edition 22.Q4 for Linux quarterly update for enterprises

CTOnews.com AMD quietly launched the Radeon Pro Software for Enterprise Linux 22.Q4 driver a week ago, calling it the "AMD Software: PRO Edition 22.Q4 for Linux" driver update in its recent publicity.

Since most Linux enthusiasts and gamers are accustomed to using upstream open source components in the mainstream Linux kernel and Mesa, this driver update has only recently gone unnoticed.

CTOnews.com has learned that the AMD Software: PRO Edition 22.Q4 for Linux driver update is the latest quarterly update for enterprise users, consisting primarily of two driver components,"Open" and "PRO," as well as a small amount of proprietary user-space driver code.

The Q4 driver supports RHEL 9.0 / 8.6 / 7.9 (and downstream versions such as CentOS / Rocky / AlmaLinux), Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS, and SUSE Linux Enterprise SLED / SLES 15 SP4.

As usual, AMD Linux packaged drivers 'public change logs/release notes are fairly sparse, indicating only that the following two issues were fixed:

The CgFX plug-in does not load in Maya 2023 with full drive.

Linux Pro MGPU RHEL 9.0 displays corruption on X11 Display Manager when connected to more than three monitors.
