Starting with Linux 4.5, the whole system will hang for about 60 seconds every time the monitor configuration is changed. The system will be completely unresponsive during this time, not even reacting to NumLock toggle on the keyboard. The system stays responsive to pings from another machine, though, and a music player app in the background keeps up it audio output. This happens once during kernel bootup, once during the startup of the display manager, once during startup of my desktop environment (which sets up a multi-monitor configuration), every time my desktop environment enables or disables screen blanking for inactivity and every time I make any changes to the monitor configuration using xrandr or by connecting or disconnecting or switching on or off any monitors on DisplayPort. In dmesg, I get this output afterwards: [ 1.123899] Non-volatile memory driver v1.3 [ 1.124084] Linux agpgart interface v0.103 [ 1.124252] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 [ 1.124365] [drm] radeon kernel modesetting enabled.

Can you bisect?
Please attach your full dmesg output and xorg log.
(In reply to Alex Deucher from comment #1) > Can you bisect? I just noticed I didn't have the latest firmware installed. I'm going to try rebooting with the latest firmware first. If things stay broken after that, I'll try with PowerPlay disabled. After that, I might try bisecting, although that's bound to take some time...
