Bug ID: 153451 Summary: [bisected] display corruption issue on Mobility Radeon HD 3650 (RV635/M86) since kernel 4.7 Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 4.7 and above Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: P1 Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) Assignee: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org Reporter: larchunix+kernel@gmail.com Regression: No
Created attachment 229491 --> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=229491&action=edit Photo of the corruption issue (poor quality but the image is ugly anyway)
After upgrading the kernel package to version 4.7 on ArchLinux, display output gets corrupted as soon as the radeon module is loaded on my laptop.
As a result, the display output is *ugly*: flickering, bluring, wrong color depth... (see attachment)

drm/radeon: don't use fractional dividers on RS[78]80 if SS is enabled
Seems to cause problems for some older hardware. Kudos to Thom Kouwenhoven for working a lot with the PLLs and figuring this out.

The change has two hunks: - reverting only the first one doesn't change anything, - reverting only the second one fix the corruption issue.
