--- Comment #18 from James Payne jamoflaw@gmail.com --- Would be good to get to the bottom of this one as it affects my wife's laptop :(
Currently stuck with Windows 10 which is sluggish to do anything...
Running the kernels from https://github.com/M-Bab/linux-kernel-amdgpu-binaries did actually allow it to boot to a proper desktop. Though was a little flakey, mainly very fast flickering of the screen when logged out and additionally when the laptop was tried to move to sleep mode it just went nuts, the screen was just overdrawing on itself until the entire screen was white!
Still it does look as if the DC merge in the kernel may help significantly with this problem if those kernels are anything to go by. Saying that my wireless is completely broken with this kernel :(
Just can't win!
