Hello everybody,

trying to install the amdgpu-pro 18.30-641594 driver on Ubuntu linux 18.04.1
using the '--px' switch for switchable amd graphics results in an
"E: Unable to locate package xserver-xorg-video-modesetting-amdgpu-pro"

The package is missing from the linux ubuntu versions amdgpu-pro 18.20 / 18.30,
while it was present in 17.x

--- Comment #1 from qnerd <***@posteo.org> ---
The same is still true for amdgpu-pro version 18.40-x

Would somebody with ties to AMD comment on this?

Is it just an obsolete feature which is not supposed to work?
Removing the paragraph from the current amdgpu-pro documentation
would clarify the matter then.
