Optionally install the lib32-vulkan-radeon or lib32-amdvlk package for 32-bit application support. For Vulkan support, install the vulkan-radeon or amdvlk package.
For the DDX driver (which provides 2D acceleration in Xorg), install the xf86-video-amdgpu package.For 32-bit application support, also install the lib32-mesa package from the multilib repository.
