This issue has a workaround:
Download 7.9 radeon driver Ubuntu package (xserver-xorg-video-radeon-hwe-16.04_7.9.0-0ubuntu1~16.04.1_amd64.deb) from:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/amd64/xserver-xorg-video-radeon-hwe-16.04/1:7.9.0-0ubuntu1~16.04.1
Execute the following on the downloaded .deb file:
> sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-radeon-hwe-16.04_7.9.0-0ubuntu1_16.04.1_amd64.deb
> sudo apt-get -f install
> sudo apt-mark hold xserver-xorg-video-radeon-hwe-16.04
This downgrades the radeon driver package to version 7.9, fixes dependencies, and holds the driver pkg from further updates.
Upon rebooted, issue is resolved.
