# DaVinci Resolve - AMD Omarchy

Install [DaVinci Resolve](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve) on [Omarchy](https://omarchy.com) (Arch Linux + Hyprland) with AMD GPU support, including the new RX 9000 series (RDNA 4).

Features a pre-installation system scanner that detects your GPU, drivers, OpenCL stack, display server, and audio — then builds a tailored package list for your exact setup.

## Requirements

- **OS**: [Omarchy](https://omarchy.com) (Arch Linux) or any Arch-based distro
- **GPU**: AMD (RDNA 1 through RDNA 4, including RX 9070/9080)
- **AUR Helper**: yay or paru
- **Compositor**: Hyprland (optional, but script adds window rules if detected)

## Quick Start

```bash
git clone https://github.com/28allday/DaVinci-Resolve-AMD-Omarchy.git
cd DaVinci-Resolve-AMD-Omarchy
chmod +x install-davinci-resolve.sh
./install-davinci-resolve.sh
```

The script will scan your system, show what it found, and ask before making any changes.

## What It Does

### 1. System Scan

Before installing anything, the script scans your system to detect:

| Component | What It Checks |
|-----------|---------------|
| **Kernel** | Version, RDNA 4 compatibility (needs 6.12+) |
| **GPU(s)** | Vendor, model, RDNA generation, discrete vs integrated |
| **Hybrid GPU** | Intel/AMD iGPU + discrete GPU detection, PRIME offload support |
| **Mesa** | Version, OpenGL renderer, Vulkan availability |
| **OpenCL** | Installed provider, whether AMD platform is actually working |
| **Audio** | PipeWire or PulseAudio detection |
| **Display** | Wayland/X11, compositor (Hyprland, Sway, GNOME, KDE) |
| **Resolve** | Existing installation detection |
| **Disk space** | Free space on root and home partitions |

### 2. Smart Package Selection

Based on the scan, it builds a package list that:
- Skips packages already installed
- Selects the right OpenCL provider for your GPU
- Removes conflicting packages (e.g. rusticl breaks ROCm)
- Adds hybrid GPU support if needed

### 3. OpenCL Provider

Two options (configurable in the script):

| Provider | Source | Best For |
|----------|--------|----------|
| `opencl-amd` (default) | AUR | Recommended by Arch Wiki for Resolve |
| `rocm-full` | Official repos | Full ROCm/HIP stack, better RDNA 4 support |

### 4. Installs DaVinci Resolve

Installs via the AUR package (`davinci-resolve` or `davinci-resolve-studio`).

### 5. Applies Compatibility Fixes

| Fix | Method | Why |
|-----|--------|-----|
| **GLib conflict** | patchelf (davincibox-style) | Cleaner than LD_PRELOAD, survives updates |
| **OpenCL decoders** | Disable BlackmagicRaw OpenCL | Prevents crashes with AMD OpenCL |
| **Rusticl removal** | Removes conflicting packages | Mesa's rusticl breaks ROCm OpenCL |
| **XWayland wrapper** | Custom launcher script | Resolve doesn't support native Wayland |
| **RDNA 4 env vars** | HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION | Tells ROCm how to talk to gfx1201 GPUs |

### 6. Creates Launcher

A wrapper script at `~/.local/bin/davinci-resolve` that:
- Forces XWayland mode (`QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb`)
- Sets ROCm/OpenCL environment variables
- Handles DRI_PRIME for hybrid GPU setups
- Sets RDNA 4 GFX version override if needed

### 7. Configures Hyprland

Adds window rules to `hyprland.conf` for Resolve's floating dialogs (file pickers, render settings, etc.) so they behave correctly under Hyprland.

### 8. Bonus Tools

- **resolve-convert** — Converts MP4/MKV to DNxHR format (DaVinci Resolve Free on Linux doesn't support H.264/H.265)
- **davinci-resolve-checker** — Community diagnostic tool for troubleshooting Resolve issues

## Supported AMD GPUs

| Generation | GPUs | Notes |
|-----------|------|-------|
| **RDNA 4** | RX 9070, 9080 | Needs kernel 6.12+, Mesa 25+ |
| **RDNA 3** | RX 7600–7900 | Full support |
| **RDNA 2** | RX 6400–6950 | Full support |
| **RDNA 1** | RX 5500–5700 | Full support |
| **Vega** | Vega 56/64 | Supported |
| **GCN** | Older cards | May work, not tested |

## Hybrid GPU Support

The script detects and handles these configurations:

- **Intel iGPU + AMD dGPU** — Configures DRI_PRIME for discrete GPU
- **AMD iGPU + AMD dGPU** — Auto-selects discrete GPU
- **Intel iGPU + NVIDIA dGPU** — Advises on PRIME render offload
- **AMD iGPU + NVIDIA dGPU** — Advises on PRIME render offload

## Configuration

### Changing OpenCL Provider

Edit the script and change `OPENCL_PROVIDER`:

```bash
# In install-davinci-resolve.sh:
OPENCL_PROVIDER="opencl-amd"    # AUR package (default)
OPENCL_PROVIDER="rocm-full"     # Official ROCm stack
```

### Free Version Codec Limitation

DaVinci Resolve Free on Linux cannot decode H.264/H.265. Convert your media first:

```bash
resolve-convert video.mp4
# Creates video_dnxhr.mov (DNxHR format that Resolve Free supports)
```

## Troubleshooting

### GPU not detected in Resolve

```bash
# Check OpenCL
clinfo --list

# Check ROCm
rocminfo

# Run diagnostics
davinci-resolve-checker
```

### RDNA 4 specific issues

If Resolve doesn't detect your RX 9070/9080, try adjusting the GFX version in the launcher:

```bash
# Edit ~/.local/bin/davinci-resolve
# Change HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION value:
#   11.0.1  (default for gfx1201)
#   11.0.0  (fallback to gfx1100)
```

### Resolve crashes on launch

- Check patchelf fix is applied: `patchelf --print-needed /opt/resolve/bin/resolve | grep glib`
- Re-run the script to reapply fixes
- Check logs: `~/.local/share/DaVinciResolve/logs/`

### Kernel 6.14/6.15 ROCm issues

Kernels 6.14 and 6.15 have known DKMS issues with ROCm. Consider using kernel 6.12 or 6.13.

## Uninstalling

```bash
# Remove Resolve (AUR package)
yay -Rns davinci-resolve

# Remove launcher and tools
rm -f ~/.local/bin/davinci-resolve
rm -f ~/.local/bin/resolve-convert
rm -f ~/.local/bin/davinci-resolve-checker
rm -rf ~/.local/share/davinci-resolve-checker

# Remove user data (WARNING: deletes all projects)
rm -rf ~/.local/share/DaVinciResolve
```
