dmesg

I cant see any screen while booting after the Grub menu - or at last in the desktop.
I tried different Distros like Mageia 5 (where it worked with 3.19.x and doesnt work since Kernel 4.1.x -> 4.1.12 tested and 4.2.5), aswell under Ubuntu 15.10 and OpenSuse 42.1.

dmesg was done with Kernel 3.19.

Sometimes (with Kernel 4.2.15) i see the message if i try to start with the Kernelcommand "nomodset"
drm:radeon_init [radeon]] *ERROR* No UMS Support in radeon module!
than it freezes.

The distro i use updated to 4.2.6. Now i see the screen (login screen displayed after i press ESC while booting... if i dont to something it does nothing) but the screen showed corrupt (flickering) -, and i have 100% CPU usage (overload).

The news xorg log is attached.

Works now with Kernel 4.4.4. An Patch for 4.4.4 fixed it.

Mark as fixed.
