Bug ID: 106940 Summary: Black screen on KMS with 4.18.0-rc1 with Kaveri+Topaz, amdgpu, dc=1 Product: DRI Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) OS: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: blocker Priority: medium Component: DRM/AMDgpu Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: nmset@netcourrier.com
Since kernel 4.18.0-rc1, my laptop boots in a black screen with Kaveri+Topaz GPUs, Xorg 1.20.0. The systems boots normally in the background. I can log in blindly in sddm, press CTRL+ALT+DEL when KDE has booted invisibly and shutdown the laptop with ENTER. I'm using the following options :
install radeon /bin/false options amdgpu dc=1 si_support=1 cik_support=1 options radeon si_support=0 cik_support=0
Everything was just working until 4.18.0-rc1.
If I boot on another partition, I can inspect Xorg.0.log of the main partition, which contains no errors.
With no options at all, or if dc=0, I can get a KDE usable session, excepting suspend failing quite often.
Thanks for any input to resolve this. I can give more information upon your instructions.
