https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205069 Bug ID: 205069 Summary: Black screen when starting graphical environment Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 5.3.1, 5.4.0-rc1, latest Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: P1 Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) Assignee: drivers_video-dri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: freddyreimer@xxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No Created attachment 285285 --> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=285285&action=edit kernel .config 5.4.0-rc1 Hello there On kernels 5.3.1 and 5.4.0-rc1, I get a black screen with a white underscore cursor in the upper left. The display gets stuck in this state, with no way to switch to a different TTY or leave this aside from hitting the reset button. I can secure-shell into the box and get a login at this time, but killing the process does not fix the display. Sway WM also does this, with it just getting stuck at the prompt entry. I have an AMD RX 5700 graphics card, using the amdgpu driver. When I do some manual configuration by blacklisting amdgpu and writing a stanza in xorg conf for vesa, I am able to get X running using vesa. uname -a output: Linux gentoo 5.4.0-rc1 #1 SMP Tue Oct 1 14:24:57 EDT 2019 x86_64 AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
