elhoirlordievader, cant remember...19:53
TJ-elhoir: the kernel driver reported by 'lspci' is *not* the same thing as the X server video drivers19:53
lordievaderWell, if it is still loaded it points to a no.19:53
lordievaderThat too.19:54
elhoirTJ-, so... what th am i using? :P19:54
TJ-elhoir: if nothing is currently depending on the kernel module it can be unloaded with "modprobe -r radeon" but I'd suspect it is driving the TTYs and therefore cannot be removed19:54
TJ-elhoir: your question is too generic. "you" aren't using a driver, but some software components of the PC are. Which component you mean will require a different answer19:56
TJ-elhoir: once an exectuable program, or library, is loaded into memory it will remain in-use and available whilst it is linked, even if you unlink (remove) the file it was loaded from.19:57
elhoirok... i mean my GPU19:57
elhoirwhich driver is it using19:58
elhoirradeon, radeonsi, r600....19:58
TJ-elhoir: in reality the file is still there, alive and well and being used. unlink-ing only makes it invisible in the file-system. Once no process has it in use *then* the file will be deleted19:58
elhoirTJ-, yeah, i understand, you need a reboot to see the differences19:58
TJ-The GPU kernel module driver for hardware access will be the one reported by 'lspci -k'19:58
elhoiror a  X restart19:58
elhoirTJ-, it reports "radeon"19:59
elhoiris it radeonsi?19:59
TJ-The 'driver' (shared library) used by the X server will be reported in /var/log/Xorg.0.log19:59

elhoirand now, why is it using r600 instead of radeonsi?20:08
