Problem
Black screen every now and then.
I manage to solve the issue by connecting a second monitor and reboot, otherwise it’s impossible to logon.
Screen seems dead.
System details:
ASUS A52J laptop
Opensuse 15.2, x86_64 (5.3.18-lp152.75-default)
Graphics card:
[AMD/ATI] Park [Mobility Radeon HD 5430/5450/5470]
I’ve been reading all over and it seems this has happened to others but threads don’t seem to finish with a solution.
This is the contect of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "AMDgpu"
MatchDriver "amdgpu"
Driver "amdgpu"
EndSection
but I’m not sure if the card is actually using amdgpu since lsmod shows radeon
> lsmod | grep -i radeon
radeon 1630208 20
i2c_algo_bit 16384 1 radeon
drm_kms_helper 229376 1 radeon
ttm 122880 1 radeon
drm 544768 10 drm_kms_helper,radeon,ttm
but doesn’t show anything when asking for amdgpu
This is most annoying as one thinks the problem has gone until it pops up again.
Here is what’s installed for radeon and amdgpu
> rpm -qa | grep radeon
radeon-profile-daemon-20190603+0-lp152.2.2.x86_64
libvulkan_radeon-19.3.4-lp152.27.1.x86_64
libdrm_radeon1-2.4.100-lp152.1.4.x86_64
radeon-profile-20200824+6-lp152.3.1.x86_64
libvdpau_radeonsi-19.3.4-lp152.27.1.x86_64
kernel-firmware-radeon-20210503-lp152.36.1.noarch
> rpm -qa | grep amdgpu
libdrm_amdgpu1-2.4.100-lp152.1.4.x86_64
xf86-video-amdgpu-18.1.0-lp152.2.5.x86_64
Can/should I remove one of them, which one?
