Subject: [PATCH] drm/amdgpu: extend MacBook VRAM-at-0 workaround to VERDE
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 10:24:44 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260925072444.18982-1-ayhancicek@gmail.com> (raw)
The existing MacBook workaround reserves VRAM at address 0 for
Polaris ASICs when the iGPU is enabled. This prevents cursor
allocations from landing at address 0.
A MacBookPro11,5 with Radeon R9 M370X (VERDE) hits the same
failure mode. Hardware cursor updates repeatedly log
"DC: Cursor address is 0!" followed by
"DC failed to set cursor attributes".
Extend the existing workaround to CHIP_VERDE. With this change,
hardware cursor operation is stable, the cursor errors remain at
zero during repeated cursor movement, and cursor disappearance
and flicker are no longer observed.
