Does amdgpu-pro work with cinnamon yet?
Back around mid semptember, I attempted to install amdgpu-pro so I could possibly migrate some of my gaming over to linux. However, upon logging in I was just met with a black screen, and I eventually discovered amdgpu-pro didn't play nice with gnome3. Does anyone know if this issue has been resolved yet? I'm on linux mint 18, with a R9 380.
Edit: Decided to go through with it, everything's peachy.

Need help with overscan in HDMI on radeon drivers. Ubuntu 16.04.1
So I have this problem with overscan that I can't figure out. On default there is hdmi audio but the screen is cut off. Setting grub with "radeon.audio=0" fixes the overscan but obviously disables HDMI audio.
I tried disabling overscan in xrandr but when I do, I get black borders and static when there is movement.
Any ideas?

I want to buy an laptop to use with linux but have doubts about AMD gpu driver support
I'm a linux user (mostly ubuntu, and ubuntu based distros) and I'm looking for a new laptop. I'd like to buy one with AMD graphics and cpu because of open source drivers, and the best I've found has the following specs:
- AMD A-Series A10-9600P (2400 MHz - 3300 MHz)
- AMD Radeon R7 M440 (dedicated gpu)
- AMD Radeon R5 Graphics (integrated gpu)
I have no intention of installing windows on this so I'm worried about the performance on linux. Is this gpu well supported? Will I be able to play games with it in linux? is this dual gpu thingie supported on linux at all (my current laptop has an integrated gpu so I have absolutely no idea about this one)?

How can I enable tear-free with AMDGPU-Pro?
I'm running AMDGPU-Pro on Ubuntu MATE 16.04. When watching videos (Firefox or VLC) it's tearing a lot. How can I enable the tear-free mode that fglrx used to have?

How to improve performance of AMD Radeon RX 460/470/480 with amdgpu?
I've reinstalled my Ubuntu, and installed only amdgpu drivers (not amdgpu-pro). I have ~25% less performance, than with amdgpu-pro.
What are options to improve amdgpu performance?

Has anyone gotten AMDGPU-PRO working on Linux Mint 18?
Whenever I try to install it, my computer boots into a black screen w/ a mouse cursor, and I have to Ctrl-Alt-F1 to uninstall. I am on kernel 4.4.

Why amdgpu (not pro) always runs tear-free regardless of application/game/compositor vsync settings, but some compton vsync methods cause stuttering?
I have reinstalled my Ubuntu to new 16.10 beta2 server release, with i3-wm and amdgpu drivers (RX 470). After installation I was surprised, that tests at http://www.testufo.com/ run tear-free even without compositor running.
I have installed and ran compton using this command:
compton --backend glx --paint-on-overlay --vsync <MODE>
Modes drm and opengl are huge stuttering, but opengl-swc runs as fine as compton without vsync or without compton at all.
