Dear developers, please let me thank you for all your hard work first of all, I'm a big fan of yours!
On my desktop PC with AMD A8-7680 APU, I'm facing 2 problems which seem to be connected to the amdgpu kernel module:
1. Amdgpu kernel module loads correctly during boot, but VESA Xorg module is loaded instead of AMDGPU Xorg module during X startup. This results in non-accelerated X and high CPU load.
- This situation is always reproducible.
- I'm experiencing it with all kernel versions in between 5.4.0-47-generic and 5.4.0-67-generic inclusive.
- The situation escalates more with newer kernel version. For 5.8.0-45-generic and 5.11.8-051108-generic, X even does not start and I just get black screen.
- I have found a workaround after many days of googling and testing. AMDGPU Xorg module is loaded correctly if and only if I disable AMD ACP by means of the following kernel boot parameter:
amdgpu.ip_block_mask=0xfffffdff
- Acceleration is ok with kernels where AMD ACP is disabled by default (linux-image-linuxlite-5.6.0 for example)
2. The 2nd problem I'm facing is with non functioning hibernation after I "fixed" the X acceleration. Hibernation image does not seem to get created, screen goes black, PC freezes but never turns off whenever AMDGPU Xorg module is loaded. Hibernation and subsequent resume is all ok if I disable AMDGPU by means of "nomodeset" and go just with VESA module.
- always reproducible but tested only with 5.4.0-67-generic
Thank you and best regards,
Radek
