It's not that I *want* to run this particular combination but given that
the support for this card is landing in the kernel and in mesa as we
speak F30 is too old for this. Even in F31 the updates to mesa only
landed a few hours after I wrote the mail so you need *really* bleeding
edge packages to make this work.
Good news is that as of right now the absolute latest mesa and llvm
packages from F31 are sufficient and the 5.3 kernel might be sufficient
as well but there might still be some bugs so I plan to keep the kernel
as fresh as possible for the coming weeks until things have settled down.
In that case please discuss any issues on the Fedora Test list rather
than here.
