I am having some odd behavior w/ my Framework 13 AMD. This is repeatable by launching Last Epoch from Steam using Proton Experimental. I am running Arch Linux and I am fully up to date, using KDE/Plasma 6 on Wayland. Here’s what I get in dmesg when this happens: ```auto [259.011521] amdgpu 0000:c1:00.0: AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT domain=0x0005 address=0xfff2bc44000 flags=0x0000] [259.011535] amdgpu

I am on 6.7.9 which is the latest release available currently for Arch. ```auto Linux fw13amd 6.7.9-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 08 Mar 2024 01:59:01 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux ``` I’m curious if anyone else has seen similar behavior, if there’s some kernel/driver tuning that might resolve this? ---

I’ve resolved this by adding `amdgpu.sg_display=0` to my kernel configuration and recompiling my unified kernel. After a reboot, I confirmed this issue doesn’t re-occur. ---

Glad to hear amdgpu.sg\_display=0 resolved this for you. We also [point folks towards this](https://knowledgebase.frame.work/en_us/allocate-additional-ram-to-igpu-framework-laptop-13-amd-ryzen-7040-series-BkpPUPQa) as well should it crop up again. ---

Just as an FYI, I also experience this issue when doing modest tasks like watching a youtube video on fullscreen. I also have seen these messages come up after suspend and the laptop not coming up (not sure if this is the culprit) and I wonder if my previous GPU problem also arose from this: [Be aware with Framework 13, AMD and Fedora/Linux - #2 by mikeymop](http://community.frame.work/t/be-aware-with-framework-13-amd-and-fedora-linux/46746/2) I will try to assign more RAM.
