[SOLVED] Problem setting up AMD graphics on HP Envy m6-1105dx laptop

I believe Krejzi was right all along. I don't need llvm and elfutil for r600 GPU. I deleted llvm and recompiled Mesa with support for just r600, svga, and swrast. Then I compiled kernel 4.7.5 with extra firmware for just R600, but not Tahiti and Aruba. Everything works just fine. All of the glx errors are gone.

Code:

$ glxinfo|grep -i opengl
OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD ARUBA (DRM 2.45.0 / 4.7.5)
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.1 (Core Profile) Mesa 12.0.3
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.10
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 12.0.3
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 12.0.3
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00
OpenGL ES profile extensions:

Finally solved. Thanks Krejzi.

On one hand you have replaced a car with a bicycle. On the other hand I can agree that a working bicycle is better than a broken car :-)

Sorry to disappoint you. Nothing broken here. As I mentioned in the original post, the GPU was the only component that did not work. Now everything works. Had the target been nvidia, it would have worked out of the box, and I would not have needed any help. People clone systems all the time using rsync and other tools, usually to avoid replicating previous work. Having built BLFS once, I know how to do it. I did not want to repeat configure, make, make install another million times.
