I downloaded the 7.9 *.deb. I executed: > sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-radeon-hwe-16.04_7.9.0-0ubuntu1_16.04.1_amd64.deb > sudo apt-get -f install > sudo apt-mark hold xserver-xorg-video-radeon-hwe-16.04 This downgraded the radeon driver package, fixed dependencies, and held the driver pkg from further updates. Rebooted and issue is resolved. No other files were touched. It's definitely something in the 7.10 changes. I will upload a new Xorg.0.log of the 7.9 behavior.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
