Bug 111691

I forgot to mention that I have been using oibaf's PPA in addition to the other software. I was under the impression that I had to do this for the display to function.

A workaround is to enable SWCursor in Xorg

Please attach your xorg log (if using X) and your dmesg output.  If this is a regression, can you bisect?

I have attached the logs but do not know how to answer your question, this is my first bug report.

Regression: Was the bug always present (as far as you know) or did it work in the past?

If it worked previously you can do a "git bisection" to find the problematic change. This increases the likelihood that AMD's driver developers can build a fix quickly.

Thanks for the explanation. I only recently bought the graphics card and the bug occurred the first time I used it on linux

I updated to the 5.3 release but has not fixed the issue

issue occurs with the closed source drivers too, on kernel 4.15 (linux mint 19.2) but to a much lesser extent

Issue is not present in Ubuntu 19.10 beta

Nearly nobody knows which versions are shipped by some distribution in some release. Please always provide version information - thanks.

running Xubuntu 19.10 - version information below (sorry for not providing it earlier):

Let me know if I can supply any additional information.

I ran into the same issue but after installing linux kernel 5.4rc2 it was fixed.

That's good to hear! Does anyone know whether the fix will be backported to the 5.3 kernel? It's gonna take a while before 5.4 becomes mainline.

I do not believe it will get backported since most effort is going towards 5.4, but you can try a ditro like Manjaro that officially supports the RC kernels
