Hi all.
If I'm connecting my laptop's HDMI out to my TV I get a black screen with garbage on top (see attached pic). This is with mirror mode on. If making the second screen primary, the pc blocks and I have to restart it. It won't unblock even if I disconnect the cable.
If switching to one of the virtual consoles, everything works correctly as it should, so the problem seems to be related somehow to the display server.
The Tv is recognized correctly by xrandr.
Specs: Asus laptop, with AMD A8-5550M, Radeon 8550G(Aruba)/8670M(Hainan), OS ArchLinux(x64) Xorg-xerver 1.17, kernel 3.19.3, Mesa-git, xf86-ati-git, llvm-svn.
This doesn't seem to be a regression (experienced it with older versions of the kernel and userspace components) and it's reproducible on another machine.
HDMI out works on Windows and ChromeOS.
Didn't try Catalyst on Linux.
