[BUG] Displaying my Integrated graphics card as Discrete

[SavciSV]

Read the FAQ first

• I have checked the FAQ but the issue is not covered

Description

fastfetch displays my graphics card as follows AMD Radeon R7 Graphics [Discrete]
While my graphics is part of my APU AMD PRO A10-8750B R7, 12 Compute Cores 4C+8G (4) @ 3.6GHz

It should display it as Integrated, not discrete

Version used

fastfetch 2.39.1 (x86_64)

Please paste the result of

find /sys/class/drm/card?/ -type f -exec sh -c 'echo "=== $1 ==="; cat "$1"; echo' _ {} \;

Please also try if fastfetch --gpu-driver-specific works for you. Thanks

Please paste the result of

There doesn't seem to be anything useful.

What about find /sys/class/drm/card?/device/hwmo*/ -type f -exec sh -c 'echo "=== $1 ==="; cat "$1"; echo' _ {} \;

gpu.txt

[CarterLi]

Your GPU driver is kind of strange.

The file which suggests the GPU is iGPU(APU) /sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon0/in1_input doesn't exist, so it's detected as dGPU.

However, the file which suggests the GPU is dGPU /sys/class/drm/card0/device/hwmon/hwmon0/freq2_input doesn't exist either.

What GPU driver are you using? Please paste the result of fastfetch -c none -s gpu --format json

"driver": "radeon"

Turns out that your GPU is too old to use the amdgpu driver, so that the ancient ATI radeon driver is used, hence neither of the file exists.

In this case, the GPU type cant be detected and will be omitted then.

[SavciSV]

Hey it's not that old it's just from 2015😭😭

But fine, I got the idea, thank you for helping me btw.

[CarterLi]

Did a fix. It should not report the GPU type now. Please download the nightly build and test:

1. fastfetch -c none -s gpu --format json
2. fastfetch -c none -s gpu --format json --gpu-driver-specific --gpu-temp

[SavciSV]

fastfetch -c none -s gpu --format json

      }
    ]
  }
]

and normal fastfetch command doesn't show it as discrete or integrated anymore.
thank you :)

[CarterLi]

Apperently most ioctl calls failed. The only sucess call is fetching VRAM size, which not expected to be reported by iGPU...

I did another attempt. Please test again

1. fastfetch -c none -s gpu --format json --gpu-temp
2. fastfetch -c none -s gpu --format json --gpu-driver-specific --gpu-temp

[SavciSV]

I don't know if you made another nightly build, but I downloaded it and reinstalled fastfetch anyways

fastfetch -c none -s gpu --format json --gpu-temp
