lotuspsychje, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

To clarify, is this still an issue for you on Xenial?

[lotuspsychje (lotuspsychje)]

@4 Christopher, thanks for your reply

Yes this issue still occurs on xenial, but its not reproducable, sometimes it happens after boot, sometimes it doesnt
but in most cases the second boot will solve this

[penalvch (penalvch)]

lotuspsychje, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one. Could you please report this problem via https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg&component=Driver/Radeon ?

Please provide a direct URL to your bug report once you have made it so that it may be tracked.

Thank you for your understanding.

tested on ubuntu 18.04 daily, still affected here

this was only on this hardware, i never been able to reproduce on other machines
so closing the bug invalid, as the computer mainboard broken
