AMD 5700-XT blackscreen and crash on startx, slack -current
by phalange from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4XPVS)
I have an AMD Radeon 5700-XT with a fresh and complete install of slackware current (5.4.10)
- Startx produces a black screen and a frozen computer (can't even ctl-alt-f* to get a terminal)
- LSPCI lists the card by name.
- DMESG does not report errors, and | grep AMD shows the amdgpu driver was loaded.
I tried blacklisting radeon as per the Arch wiki.
I tried both the generic and the huge kernel.
Searches have been fruitless; does anyone have a suggestion?
