I have tested with a fully updated Fienix and kernel 5.3. I am sorry to say that it does not work with a solo Radeon SI card.xeno74 wrote:Hi All,

Here is the xorg.conf before I rebooted: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1vp6bhcndzl1e ... .jpeg?dl=0
Here is the result: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p16wi7phmxx42 ... .jpeg?dl=0
I can not get past the white screen.
I will try adding my Firepro to see if that helps.

The R7 240 and the R9 270X should be the same architecture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Radeon_Rx_200_series
