ASUS X550Z laptop

AMD A10-7400P Radeon R6 Kaveri

Display corrupted on wake from sleep. Display activates but shows garbage. Mouse pointer visible but doesn’t move.

What are the first things to investigate?

#2

To start with, immediately after a fresh boot right after observing the issue and initial DE login:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old | susepaste -e 10080
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | susepaste -e 10080
inxi -GSaz

Is the behavior the same if you login on the SDDM greeter screen to an Xorg Plasma session instead of Wayland?

Something to try: at the Grub menu, before making a boot selection, strike the E key while your normal boot selection is highlighted, navigate to the end of the linu line (which usually wraps onto 1-2 lines below linu), append a space and radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1, then proceed with boot. This should cause an X driver switch from radeon

  Device-1: AMD Kaveri [Radeon R6 Graphics] vendor: ASUSTeK driver: **radeon**
...
    compositor: kwin_wayland driver:X:loaded: **radeon**

to amdgpu

...
    compositor: kwin_wayland driver:X:loaded: **amdgpu**

If this solves the problem, radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 can be made permanent by including it in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= string in /etc/default/grub, then running sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. and rebooting.

I too have AMD Kaveri graphics and use radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 for booting and for using amdgpu instead of radeon, but I don’t use Wayland, and mine is not a laptop.

Single try with X desktop instead of Wayland. Display recovered properly from sleep. Will do more tests with alternate drivers.
