Bug Description
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 17.04 and on trying to connect more than one external monitor, the system either goes to a black screen (recoverable from a system terminal) or will switch on one external monitor but not both. This was working with the ati proprietary drivers in 16.10, but these appear not to be supported in 17.04.
This is the what I think is the relevant output of dmesg | egrep 'drm|radeon' (the errors that come up after I try to connect a second external monitor):
[ 557.739832] [drm:atombios_
[ 557.739850] [drm:drm_
[ 584.375631] [drm:atombios_
[ 584.375651] [drm:drm_
[ 589.582640] [drm:atombios_
[ 589.582656] [drm:drm_
I've replicated the error with a totally new user account, so it doesn't appear to be an old account settings problem.
Any advice would be welcome.
