Slackware64-current [07-MAR-2020] AMDGPU lock up with Firefox and Googles Maps
by kingbeowulf from LinuxQuestions.org on (#50D2F)
This may not be specific to Slackware, or even Firefox and Googles Maps. I've been experiencing occasional intermittent X lock ups when Firefox pan and zooms Google Maps, in Xfce. I'm going to swicth today to KDE4 to see if the same thing happens, but could take days to pop up. So far, Steam Games and other 2D/3D workloads don't seem to cause this so far. Only error that pops up is in /var/log/syslog

This has been happening since around 5.4.19. I canb ssh in an pokek around but X server etc is AWOL and unresponsive - not a black screen, just static image of whatever was last displayed and no keyboard or mouse. Only solution so far is a reboot. Windows users around the 'net have been complaining agout black screen lockups with the AMD Windows driver with NAVI GPUs and speculating it has something to do with the AMD GPU BIOS/firmware.
Anyone have any ideas or similar experiences? So far more of an annoyance that anything else.
