I have been meaning to update this bug report for a long time but I have been having difficulty getting back to a stable system with the right combination of kernel, mesa & xorg-x11-drv-ati. Downgrading mesa makes no difference. I suspect the problem is something in the kernel This bug is severe for me, leaving my system almost unusuable. GPU lockup can happen anywhere from turning on the laptop to just before I get to gdm to log in. If I manage to log in the session might only last a few minutes. A long lasting session is a rarity A hard reboot is necessary. Often when I turn back on the system it just goes straight away to a black screen. It doesn't even go the the Dell boot menu that gives the bios options etc. The card would seem to be alive. Sometimes in this situation I get a beeping sound from the hardware. However right now I seem to have hit a sweetspot with the following: kernel-4.12.8-300.fc26 mesa-17.1.7-1.fc26 xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.9.0-1.fc26 I get long sessions lasting possibly hours without lockup. I still do have some problems: 1: Even after a long session without a lockup if I shutdown the laptop normally and try to boot it a few hours later it just goes straight away to a black screen. It doesn't even go the the Dell boot menu that gives the bios options etc. 2:There are still the odd random lockup giving all the problems above Should I change tack & report a bug relating to the kernel instead?
