AMD Sends In More New GPU Hardware Enablement For Linux 7.4, Bug Fixes Written by Michael Larabel in Radeon on 4 October 2026 at 06:14 AM EDT. Add A Comment We are nearing the cut-off of new Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem material for the upcoming Linux 7.4 cycle. AMD this week sent in another feature pull to DRM-Next that is moving over to mostly bug fixing but does contain the enablement of some new GPU intellectual property blocks for upcoming graphics hardware. This week's AMDGPU pull request is made up of mostly fixes but there is support for a number of new hardware blocks: OSSSYS 8.0.1, LSDMA 8.0.1, NBIF 7.10, SMUIO 15.0.3, MP 15.0.3, VPE 3.0, and MMHUB 5.0. Among the stand-outs there is VPE 3.0 as a big version bump for the Video Processing Engine IP.
