Description

I'm having issues using hardware accelerated graphics on my AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with A300M-STX mainboard and A300 chipset by ASRock.

That's the AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon Vega Graphics (family: 0x17, model: 0x18, stepping: 0x1)

When attaching an UHD (4k) monitor over the DisplayPort, everything works as expected as long as I am running an older kernel that doesn't support the APU video hardware. E.g. 4.15 or 4.18.

When I use 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2 kernel, the same display connection that worked fine before doesn't work anymore. The image keeps disappearing, shaking, distorting and creating green pixel noise, as if the cable is bad quality.

When starting those same kernels with nomodeset from GRUB, the image is stable again, but the hardware acceleration is disabled.

HDMI works fine on a HD display (1920x1080) but also no picture on UHD.

HWE Kernel 5.0.0.20.21~18.04.1 does have hardware rendering, but shows the following:

[    1.296083] kfd kfd: DID 15d8 is missing in supported_devices<br>
[    1.296084] kfd kfd: kgd2kfd_probe failed<br>
```<br>
<br>
So I used Ukuu to install 5.2.0-RC7.<br>
