Resending this because I want to make sure jung-uk Kim gets included in 
the future discussion.

Sorry for the really delayed response.

Yes, I am 100% sure I am booting with UEFI. And I don't seem to have any 
issues. Again, the only bug I still encounter is that occasionally X 
hangs and has to restart the driver. And if I look at the console, I get 
errors about "GPU not responding. Attempting to reset GPU", and so on.

I don't know if it helps, but again, my CPU is an AMD A10-7860K (2016) 
model with onboard Radeon R7 graphics. If there's any other info I can 
provide, please let me know.
