@gpuopen Q: When are you going to fix the random crash to black screen issues on #AMD #Radeon #7900XTX?

Cuz it's extremely frustrating for users like @fuchsiii when their #Linux-compatible #GPU is less reliable than the shitty #GMA500!

Espechally since we're talking about a €1k+ GPU and not some shitty Voltari Z11 / SiliconMotion SM750-based VGA card that is being sold for €10 with shipping on Aperzon!

@fuchsiii @kkarhan @gpuopen
I had problems with the AMD iGPU inside my Steam Deck with vanilla Arch, random crashes and whatnot.
In the end simply compiling newest MESA and using that solved it.

Here is an still open issue and maybe your problem is similar:

@bastetfurry @gpuopen seems like a different issue.

Apparently the GPU just.randomly resets itself and goes temporarily braindead until rebooted.

And I kinda have to agree with @fuchsiii that this should not be an issue espechally since neither #Vega64 nor #RX5700 had this problem at launch.

The only workaround I can think of would be to instal #OpenSSH server and then remotely restart the entire graphics stack, which is not a fix as it still means all #GUI applications got killed!

@bastetfurry @gpuopen @fuchsiii And yes pressing CTRL+ALT+F9 to switch to an unused terminal session doesn't work.

And the worst part is that this isse can destroy #AMD / #Radeon #GPUs since no powersaving or thermal managment of the VGA-BIOS is being loaded.

So the machine can eandomly wake up from S3 or S5 and sound like a fucking fighter jet and still be braindead.
