Xorg amdgpu driver crashes after updating.

Hello everyone,

I own a Dell Inspiron 5567, and about a month ago I ran zypper update and on reboot was unable to enter graphical login, sometimes I could not even switch back to text console.

Formerly I had been seeing these kernel messages with no apparent effect on Xorg:

   88.699880] [drm:gfx_v8_0_ring_test_ring [amdgpu]] *ERROR* amdgpu: ring 8 test failed (scratch(0xC040)=0xCAFEDEAD)

Here are the Xorg log messages:

The display controller is an AMD Topaz XT, on an Intel 5916 VGA controller. If I remove the xf86-video-amdgpu I can run Xorg again,

Greetings and TiA.

Update: As of xf86-video-amdgpu-1.3.0-1.1 and drm-kmp-default-4.9.33_k4.4.114_42-7.1, graphical environment is working again. I also tested the HDMI output successfully, which didn’t work without the amdgpu driver.

Thanks again.
