Package: firmware-amd-graphics
Version: 20180825+dfsg-1~bpo9+1

Laptop Information
- Inspiron 5775
- AMD Ryzen 5 - 2500U CPU
- Radeon Vega 8 GPU (Shared with CPU)

Kernel: 4.19.0-0.bpo.2-amd64, 4.19.16-1~bpo9+1

- Without Package Debian Stretch works fine with one config change:
/etc/default/grub/
* see notes

Steps to Reproduce:

* This assumes stretch-backports is installed *

#1. Install ATI Firmware:
#sudo apt-get install -t stretch-backports firmware-amd-graphics

#2. Reboot Install:
# After reboot - kernel loads just fine but then when it hits the
gnome-shell login screen the system locks up (cursor has no movement) and
only a grey background is shown.

Here is part of my log what I seem to show:
 gnome-session[857]: gnome-session-binary[857]: WARNING: App
'org.gnome.Shell.desktop' exited with code 1

Without the firmware-driver I can get gnome-shell to launch just fine
however for my laptop I have to set the following up for proper screen
booting: /etc/default/grub/ (see below). Even commenting these in/out still
produce a lock when the firmware is installed does not lock when firmware
is not installed.

* Yes: this is close *
> GFXMODE=1920x1080x32
> GFXPAYLOAD=keep


Last Note: Running Fedora live with vga=3d4 or vga=755 seems to boot up: I
have less lockup problems and HDMI is fully supported. Right now even with
the firmware there is no HDMI output using Debian Stretch. I don't know if
this has to do with a newer firmware of Fedora for AMD ATI and/or the
Kernel or if Mesa also is updated such that for the most part things are
working. I expect Buster to be working fully if what is pulled in is
updated.

Is this still reproducible with current Testing, upcoming bullseye
release? If so can you produce the corresponding log?


Thank you for your report and sorry for the late reply.
