Title: Instable DisplayPort with latest radeon driver Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm using an external monitor on my notebook via DisplayPort => DVI adapter. After the latest Xenial updates, which included a kernel update to 4.4.0-13.29, I had massive problems, with black screen after reboot to black screen after suspend with the attached monitor. xrandr still showed the monitor correctly. Additionally I had graphic glitches. Sometimes I managed to re-enable the monitor by detaching it, changing some window in the KDE session and re-attaching it. But it didn't always work. dmesg had some entries like: [drm:radeon_dp_link_train [radeon]] *ERROR* displayport link status failed The 12.27 kernel contained a "Pull in upstream AMD code (amdgpu) in Xenial (LP: #1546572)", which also includes "drm/radeon: fix dp link rate selection (v2)" patch So I took the old radeon modules source from 11.26, compiled and installed it for 13.29, updated the initramfs and my problems are solved. I didn't yet test the explicit patch. as I don't know where the patchset was taken from.
