So this report is about the screen temporarily blanking while the driver initializes? If so, that's not really a bug, getting rid of that would be an enhancement.
Yes. I didn't know that's how AMD drivers load. Starting with 4.14 there's also a screen wide artifact when loading the driver so I thought the screen blanking is a bug.
