@zxvfxwing check the Xorg and/or lightdm logs when you're at that black screen. You should be able to switch to another tty (ctrl+alt+F2 maybe) and login without X, and navigate to /var/log. If it keeps switching you back to the other screen, it's trying to restart X/lightdm; disable then stop the service from tty2.

I downgraded to xorg-server 1.18 & 4.9 kernel, but nothing to do.
At boot I'm stuck on a black screen with a white "_" at topleft corner.
I gess lightdm.service doesn't want to start for some reason.
When ctrl+z to xorg119 and 4.10 everything works fine.
Any suggestions ?

@vltr
I'm using amdgpu-pro with kernel 4.10 and 4.11-rc1. One goal of amdgpu-pro was to separate userspace and kernelspace binaries. I don't think one should downgrade the kernel package.

@simon_herbert: in order to use amdgpu-pro, *you have to downgrade some packages*, like xorg-server to version 1.18 and your linux-kernel to 4.8 or 4.9, for some reasons: ABI compatibility, header compatibility, etc. _In my machine_, here's a list of what I have downgraded in order to install amdgpu-pro properly (see final notes at the end):
* xorg-server (1.18.4-1)
* xorg-server-common (1.18.4-1)
* xorg-server-devel (1.18.4-1)
* xorg-server-xvfb (1.18.4-1)
* xorg-server-xwayland (1.18.4-1)
* xf86-input-libinput (0.20.0-1)
* xf86-input-evdev (2.10.2-1)
* xf86-input-keyboard (1.8.1-2)
* xf86-input-mouse (1.9.2-1)
* xf86-input-void (1.4.1-2)
* xf86-video-fbdev (0.4.4-5)
* xf86-video-vesa (2.3.4-2)
* mesa (12.0.3-4)
* mesa-libgl (12.0.3-4)
* lib32-mesa (12.0.3-4)
* lib32-mesa-libgl (12.0.3-4)
* linux-ck-piledriver (4.9.13-1) ¹
* linux-ck-piledriver-headers (4.9.13-1) ¹
[1] I use the ck patchset in my system, you can simply install linux-lts kernel if you want.
Other than that, it's all about your own settings.
Final notes:
- You can download older packages from the archive: https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/
- You should install lib32-libomxil-bellagio from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-libomxil-bellagio
- You should also install lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs
- amdgpu-pro installation should have a wiki page of it's own! :)

Trying to install amdgpu-pro through yaourt, and already manually installed missing packages, I'm stuck with it saying that
"lib32-mesa: removing lib32-libglvnd deletes needed package from "lib32-libglvnd""
"mesa: removing libglvnd deletes needed package from "libglvnd""
What can I do to repair this?

Don't know if and how recent update in mesa/xorg-server/libglvnd did touch amdgpu-pro, but it touched catalyst badly ;)
If it also touched amfgpu-pro then mayb it will be useful?:
for now I've added mesa packages of 17.0.1-1 version to [catalyst]* and [catalyst-stable] - simply copied from archive: https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/
After new version of mesa came out, I will build new mesa packages without glvnd support. Then I will most probably add new mesa package to aur.

Any luck with AMD R270? I'm unable to start any X-session after downgrading to 1.18 and using linux 4.9. After upgrading to the latest xorg-server, all seems to work fine, but of coures I'm unable to use amdgpu-pro.

Thanks!
To maintainer: depends ncurses5-compat-libs, libomxil-bellagio, lib32-libomxil-bellagio and lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs. It has to be set manually, or install is failed
nmset commented on 2017-02-27 09:46 (UTC)
@Berg : To remove, I would
# switch to a terminal
# systemctl stop sddm #whatever display manager
# pacman -Rdd amdgpu-pro amdgpu-pro-dkms amdgpu-pro-libdrm amdgpu-pro-libgl amdgpu-pro-opencl amdgpu-pro-vdpau amdgpu-pro-vulkan lib32-amdgpu-pro lib32-amdgpu-pro-libdrm lib32-amdgpu-pro-libgl lib32-amdgpu-pro-opencl lib32-amdgpu-pro-vdpau lib32-amdgpu-pro-vulkan xf86-video-amdgpu-pro
# pacman -Sy xf86-video-amdgpu mesa-libgl ocl-icd lib32-mesa-libgl lib32-ocl-icd
# systemctl poweroff
Now I have not tried it, but it should get you back to stock libraries.

IF PROBLEM HAPPEN
this package is our try to put amdgpu in ARCH, but this could break or have problems as amd update and change their packages for ubuntu
if anything happens you can always download a older tag in https://github.com/Ashark/archlinux-amdgpu-pro/releases and get the PKGBUILD there, and use makepkg with that build while we update or try to fix :)
ALWAYS USE LINUX-FIRMWARE-GIT IF LATEST DRIVER FAIL BEFORE ISSUE SOME ERROR
