just purge amdgpu-pro and you're done, no need to reinstall anything but if you don't provide logs without it and xorg.conf, there's not much I can do other than close the bug

This video shows the problem. https://goo.gl/photos/rXNBQ5KR6ZMnhazB9 And the video capture is done in 240fps so its possible to see what is happening more clearly. The test video itself is just a short test video with alternating red/green pictures in 60Hz. What you should see is a somewhat flickering screen but the color should be a consistent orange hue. there should be no pulsing of colors that is more green then back to more red and so on then something is wrong. I have attached the video. if you are uncertain how it should look try to play it directly on a TV. that is with the TV own player not with a computer as that has a lot higher probability of not having any issues with vsync and frame updates. --- .tmp.unity_support_test.0: ApportVersion: 2.20.2-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 BootLog: /dev/sda2: clean, 770076/2416640 files, 3881571/9647872 blocks (K(K CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true CurrentDesktop: Unity DistUpgraded: 2016-04-22 23:31:04,108 DEBUG Running PostInstallScript: './xorg_fix_proprietary.py' DistroCodename: yakkety DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, including running git bisection searches GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 [8086:1912] (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.
