Hi,
I have a 2200G and use Debian Testing. I compiled the latest kernel from git (4.17 rc2 now). It works surprisingly well for its "age" compared to previous AMD APU releases.
SO, the Bugs that bug me:
1. The system freezes if the monitors try to enter DPMS ("try" because one enters, the other not). I have a Gigabyte GA-AB350M-HD3, with 2 monitors connected, one via HDMI, the other via DVI.
This is reproducible in about 50% of cases or so. Happens if the screensaver/power manager puts displays to sleep or if i force DPMS from xset.
One monitor (HDMI) enters DPMS, the other only blanks the signal.
Complete system freeze, no magic combinations or remote access.
Workaround is to disable DPMS for now. I will look into disabling C6 state from BIOS.
I have the following kernel command line;
The it87 one is there for historical reasons. Maybe the others are not explicitly needed. Otherwise the computer runs well, i have it on 24/7, it does not seem to have idle freezes.
2. If the above bug occurs and i power down the system, at the first restart the system freezes when the amdgpu module is loaded. Afterwards it boots ok. It might be that this reboot bug is present on other occasions, but im not sure because i use my computer 24/7 so dont reboot often.
Are there reports of these bugs above?
PS On a positive note, the CPU is wicked fast compared to my previous A8-6500, the IGP is light years above - it has VDPAU support for 4K HW 264 decoding, h265 HD HW decoding (4k in theory, but it falls back to software, probably will be implemented sometimes), games i tried run with a magnitude faster.
