So, the first thing I would try is disabling msi. I added a tuneable to do so. MSI has had a lot of testing on radeon. I've been working on nouveau for the last week, so I'll get back to looking at radeon soon. I have found a couple of bugs that I need to fix while working on nouveau that might effect radeon as well. robert. --=20 Robert Noland FreeBSD --=-zrQrOLCSPK4K3xX/8fqv Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkm62YMACgkQM4TrQ4qfROOC9QCdHlE/UP0o3vCGv+99jpUA7Dmb RHgAn0gl9mFlrw1eEzRvpZ6gR/dRIpwM =Wit5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-zrQrOLCSPK4K3xX/8fqv--
