Systems and function
The system has 3 Linux versions. My daughter prefer Mint why we have a problem:
Ubuntu: runs fine out of the box
SUSE SLE: after few tweek lines it runs fine
-------- Tweek ------
vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon"
Driver "radeon"
Option "TearFree" "on"
-----------
Status
After boot, the screen freeze. Sometimes grey, sometimes in Desktop and the touchpad/mouse freez as well.
Keyboard - no reaction.
Reboot is only possible by hard reset.

No harm in trying out. If it doesn't work, undo the changes. And copy paste output of. Question

The SUSE tweak doesn't work. SUSE uses different driver.
But this works:

Installing AMDGPU-PRO in 18.3 breaks graphics
sudo lshw -C video this code shows the used driver. It was radeon.
I deleted the amg driver, but not the libs. (This would cause too much trouble) - server-xorg-video-amdgpu
Since it works proper. Let's see how long?

I can't find a link but that code mentioned is something common with Intel cards, not AMD. And SUSE can't use a different driver for that card than Mint in any currently supported version. The open source radeon driver is the only AMD driver available for a card that old.
Well, it does if it's not on the list of supported cards for sure.Installing AMDGPU-PRO in 18.3 breaks graphics ...
