Bug Description

I have 3 LCD panels attached via straight DisplayPort cables (no daisy chaining, no DVI-DP converters and so on) to the FirePro V7900, which has 4 DisplayPort sockets.

One of the panels will often not come up when screens are DPMS-suspended (xset dpms force off, or by the screensaver). The panel will then say "No signal", but the card still thinks it is enabled and working (as verified in AMDCCCLE). It is sometimes possible make it work again by cycling a few times "xset dpms force off" and then pressing a key to turn screens on. It is always the same panel which has troubles, but it is port-bound (I tried exchaning the screens physically; it is the port numbered "3" in amdcccle, the other two being 1 and 2), not screen-bound. Sometimes the screen also just flickers, showing what it should only intermittently.

Restarting X fixes the issue (but terminates the session) most the time.

The open-source driver does not suffer from this issue at all.

The fglrx driver has had this issue since as long as I remember (2 or 3 years).

I have the exact same problem with the same monitor, both the HDMI and Displayport/USB C thunderbolt 3 adapter didn't work. I have a Dell XPS 15 9560, and called Dell support, who wanted me to return it.

Does anybody know a solution to this? I checked both the HDMI and Displayport cable work completely fine with other monitors? But the screen doesn't work with the other computer. Maybe it could be Intel HD graphics, which are on laptops/desktops hinders the connection? It is a G-sync monitor, 165 hz, 2560x1440
