Getting vulkan working with xcb (amd gpu)

Vulkan
1

Hi,
I just ported a working project to a newer machine using an AMD APU (Ryzen 7 3700U) from an Intel integrated one, and when I try to execute a vulkan program with validation layers enabled I get that VK_KHR_xcb_surface is not supported.

I can reproduce the same error running vkcube --validate. Here’s the output:

WARNING : VALIDATION - Message Id Number: 2044605652 | Message Id Name: VUID_Undefined

xcblib is installed, and working for other programs. I tried running vulkaninfo and I got this:

error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.

A full vulkaninfo pastebin can be found here : https:// bsd. to/m5JH (remove spaces, the forum doesn’t let me add links, no idea why).

[FIXED] I’ve notice an error at the beginning claiming XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set. This has been fixed adding that env. var.

The system has the following packages installed:

vulkan-loader-1.2.135.0        Driver loader for the Vulkan graphics API

What can be causing vulkan not to run?

Thanks in advance

Where did you get the SDK from?

3

I got it from the FreeBSD ports collection.

4

The error XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set has been fixed creating that environment variable.
vulkaninfo no longer shows the error but vkcube --validate stills crashing with the same message from the main post.

5

Seems like the layers were built without XCB support by the port maintainer?

6

It was indeed. Someone reported a bug recently to the port and there’s a temporary patch here. Anyway thanks for helping (:
