Is there any chance you are using a hybrid laptop with both Intel and
AMD GPUs in it?  Based on your log this looks like it a MUX-less one
in which case the discrete AMD card is not actually connected to any
displays (or if it is, it might only be connected to an external
monitor port).  We can double check by posting your dmesg output.
MUX-less systems aren't supported yet as we need a fair amount of drm
and X infrastructure to handle buffer sharing between GPUs and
decoupled display and rendering.
