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.

Question
Can I use the SUSE Tweek as well or what can be done?

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

Code: Select all

 inxi -Fxz

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.

Installing AMDGPU-PRO in 18.3 breaks graphics ...

Well, it does if it's not on the list of supported cards for sure.
