Same thing happens on Arch Linux, too, there's a dumb workaround: if you add modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu to the kernel line during boot, there won't be a problem with the faulty amdgpu driver :D
you can use the vesa driver without any HW acceleration (HTML5 vids seem to play okay-ish) but not even the lowest resolution of downloaded movies via VLC.. next step for me was to try out 14.04, yes it supports fglrx and yes you can install it with a click of a button, but still it's not Arch, so the next day I came home from work I managed to get it to work on Arch (first time in my life) Home sweet home Now I suffer from random ALT CTRL and SHIFT keystrokes ( I guess they would have appeared in Ubuntu also, since it's usually using an older kernel than Arch. Anyways, I think I'll stick with the fglrx driver until I read some promising news on R6 Carrizo APU... xD -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577074 Title: AMDGPU driver problems on "Carrizo" APU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu/+bug/1577074/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
