 |

Hello,
I use an ASUS AMD Radeon R9 390, since Kernel 4.19.x something is messed up with AMDGPU, the problem persists in 4.20.0 too.
4.18.20 runs fine but I want to try out a newer Kernel. 4.18.20 is stable but there is some weird stuttering going on periodically when I use the TearFree option in xorg.conf.
On boot when the resolution is about to switch to native I just get a black screen and nothing happens. I don't know exactly what is happening, because I can't use dmesg obviously...
I have to hard reset the machine, when I do that my main monitor (on DVI) stays black for ~30 sec in the BIOS, the second one (HDMI) turns on immediately like it should.
That ~30sec thing only happens after a failed boot with Kernel >4.19.x.
Anybody experiencing the same thing?
EDIT:
amdgpu.dpm=1 was causing the issue...
The system boots fine now.
EDIT 2:
Setting amdgpu.dc=0 fixed the stuttering issue for me at least on 4.20.0, it might be related to this:

This might be useful for you folks experimenting with AMDGPU:

| Quote: | | Beginning with Linux 4.13, AMDGPU and Radeon GCN 1.0/1.1 support can co-exist nicer thanks to some new module options added. Even if blacklisting the Radeon DRM, AMDGPU doesn't have GCN 1.0/1.1 support by default but requires setting amdgpu.cik_support=1 for GCN 1.1 support and amdgpu.si_support=1 for GCN 1.0 support. To get Radeon DRM to not bind to these generations of GPUs, radeon.si_support=0 and radeon.cik_support=0 must be set. So basically if you want to get AMDGPU working for Sea Islands and Southern Islands GPUs on Linux 4.13+, you need to append "radeon.si_support=0 radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=1" to your kernel command line when booting the system. |
