--- Comment #3 from kwkaess@gmx.com --- running very recent kernel, 4.15.0-rc1-00396-ga0651c7fa2c0 (as automatically labelled), with recent AMD_DC fixes.
Fixes 1 - backlight now shuts off.
Makes 3 worse - It put my internal monitor in a state (blank, backlight cycling on and off) that required a hard power cycle to correct (soft reboots left it in this state I don't know why). I recommend that you DO NOT put your laptop to sleep with this kernel.
I will report on 2 when I have my external attached.
