Public bug reported: The AMD driver expects the file `amdgpu.ids` in a fixed place (/usr/share/libdrm); this means that, when building a Snap application, the amdgpu.ids file isn't directly available there, but inside a mounted folder. This forces either each application, or each extension snap (gnome-extension, mesa-2404...) to link/bind the file from the current place (usually at $SNAP/gnome-platform/usr/share/libdrm/amdgpu.ids) into the original path. The problem is that, currently, it fails, and the file isn't being binded, no matter the correct statement is specified in the snap.
There is a patch for libdrm that allows to set an environment variable, called AMDGPU_ASIC_ID_TABLE_PATH, where the file will be searched for instead of the default, meson-configured, path. Unfortunately, it still hasn't been merged. But applying it into the .deb packages would allow to fix this problem, and with the extra advantage or reducing the number of binded files/folders in the snaps (each bind consumes resources, and in fact, snapd limits the number of binds that a snap can do, so being able to use an environment variable for this would allow to save one).
