I also have an HP g121wm laptop with an A10 8700p apu/gpu chip=
set (carrizo R6).

amdgpu driver at least 6 months ago, shortly after the kernel loads and det=

hardware the screen blanks, the keyboard doesn't respond, although numlock =
and
capslock are working, but any of the alt+ctl or reisub commands won't work,
however the system does continue to load in the background. I suppose this
occurs when kernel mode setting kicks in. I can only get a working screen u=
sing
nomodeset in the command line, which limits me to an 800x600 fb screen. AMD
support tells me there is no support for R6 graphics in amdgpu pro, but an =
Xorg
support person tells me that their Xorg version of amdgpu (not pro) does
support this carrizo chipset. I've tried the latest Xorg amdgpu to no avail.

Is this even a bug or just an unusual configuration issue?=20

I don't have the amdgpu driver installed at the moment, but here are my dme=
sg
and Xorg.log files.
