Fedora27, AMD Carrizo

This "Part 2" of my struggle with getting Carrizo ( A10 Radeon R6) to work on HP laptop. To get it to work at all, I had to stay with Fedora 24 and pin xorg package on 1.17 X version. All that with proprietary driver installed.
System was unstable - constant ( once a few hours) spontaneous changes in resolution, keyboard not typing..

so i upgraded to F27 ( including all x org packages).

Code:

abrt-addon-xorg-2.10.5-1.fc27.x86_64

xorg-x11-xinit-1.3.4-16.fc27.x86_64

xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-23.fc27.x86_64

xorg-x11-utils-7.5-25.fc27.x86_64

xorg-x11-xauth-1.0.9-9.fc27.x86_64

xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.5-18.fc27.noarch

xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu-1.3.0-3.fc27.x86_64

xorg-x11-server-common-1.19.5-1.fc27.x86_64

xorg-x11-xkb-utils-7.7-21.fc27.x86_64

xorg-x11-font-utils-7.5-35.fc27.x86_64

xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-7.5-18.fc27.noarch

xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.7-23.fc27.noarch

xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.19.5-1.fc27.x86_64

I also installed amd driver :

Code:

[root@hp ~]# rpm -qa | grep amd

xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu-1.3.0-3.fc27.x86_64

and the HW is :

Code:

I removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf and left only amdconf:

Code:

ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

total 8

        Driver "amdgpu"

        Option "Accel" "on"

EndSection

The boot gets me a low resolution terminal only. yet the kernel driver seemed to be present:

The attempt to enable mystro256's copr didn't work out:

<blah>

Repository successfully enabled.

[root@hp ~]# dnf check-update

Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'mystro256-amd-staging-kernel', disabling.

and that is because there is no copr for F27 ( only for F26).

The firmware seemed to be inplace:

Code:

Any ideas what i might be overlooking?

I took "nomodeset" out of boot and added amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=1 .

Code:

mdgpu.cik_support=1 amdgpu.si_support=1 rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8

That didn't lead to any noticeable changes, but allowed me to manually load the amdgpu module.

modprobe amdgpu led to black blank screen with the messages:

out of ideas. :(

end result:

nothing failed related to the X and still no picture.. Ultimate nirvana :(

i added a mesa-vulkan rpm and now it doesn't look like X starts at all - the /var/log/X.org.log has an older timestamp...
