From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Anyone here has RX 9070 XT? Is there a way to disable RGB? (lemm.ee)

Hi all!

I know that AMD has software for controlling RGB on Windows. I found some old threads where someone suggested disconnecting the LEDs themselves, which is not something I'm willing to do with my 2-day old card.

I also would love not having to switch to Windows just to turn the bloody RGB off.

I've never used OpenRGB and I don't quite understand their compatibility guide for the 9070, so I'm not sure if it's doable there.

So! Does anyone here have that card and was able to disable RGB on Linux?

As a sidenote: I just realised that my OS sees two GPUss - the dGPU and the iGPU. Is there a way I can turn iGPU off so that it doesn't get in the way?

Any help appreciated!

Oh, I should probably mention - I'm on:

OS Garuda Linux x86_64
├ Kernel Linux 6.13.8-zen1-1-zen
├ Packages 1366 (pacman)[stable]
├ Shell fish 4.0.1

DE KDE Plasma 6.3.4
├ Window Manager KWin (Wayland)

For the iGPU issue, there should be an option in your setup utility/BIOS on your motherboard that either allows you to disable the iGPU entirely (usually in the settings for CPU or chipset, can vary from board to board), or (in the case of my Asrock board at least) there is a "dGPU only" mode that automatically disables the iGPU when a dGPU is detected. For the RGB, since the 9070XT is a partner only card (so many different manufacturers make them), the RGB implementations can vary a lot between models as there is no standard design (would be wise to edit your post to say which specific brand and model of card you have in case other people with that brand have experience with it). It might be worth just installing openRGB anyway and seeing what it detects automatically, as it could pick it up.

I would rather disable it on the OS level because I'm slightly paranoid that the dGPU dies at some point and then I can't even access UEFI, because the iGPU is disabled.

Usually it should fail over and just use the iGPU, but if worst comes to worst shorting the CMOS clear jumper on your motherboard with a screwdriver or something else metal will reset the settings and get you back in.
