Adding xgl-maint for comment... This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
amdgpu is now the default driver loaded for AMD GPUs, for Vega's it's the only choice. Fedora ("Fedora Xfce Live x86_64 28_Beta" torrent) installs xorg-x11-drv-ati and xorg-x11-drv-nouveau and xorg-x11-drv-intel and lots of other things but NOT xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu for some reason. This makes Xorg work badly using the ati driver instead of amdgpu. This causes problems. Some are very bad such as your monitor goes into suspend and X crashes and now you're doomed. I'm not a linux scientist so it took me a while to realize the cause of pain was no xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu because I blindly assumed it had been installed automagically. Please make sure the Fedora installer grabs xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu of xorg is installed (or I can just leave it in a script I personally run first thing after a fresh install anyway and everyone else gets bad bugs). Thank you for reading all of this.
