Hi, I think I had a similar problem when I switched from the |
| 18 |
proprietary AMD driver to the |
| 19 |
radeon driver. |

The configuration below works just fine on vanilla-sources-4.9.0 . |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I have VIDEO_CARDS="radeon radeonsi r600" (for an older AMD video card) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
AND (following a hint of Alan McKinnon) the following kernel |
| 26 |
