Desktop Environment:

gediz@gg-Desk:~$ cinnamon --version
Cinnamon 3.6.7

What I have tried is to follow this guide : Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS R9 390X amdgpu guide / testing summary. And tired to login cinnamon , it runs on cpu cannot find hardware acceleration. Ubuntu Unity (or wayland) and gnome-session-flashback are also run on cpu.

dpkg info of amdgpu:

dpkg info of vulkan:

ii  vulkan-utils

I don't understand what is wrong. These are the default packages wich comes with ubuntu 18.04. I did not install any additional package other than mesa vulkan drivers. Should I ?

I also have a bonus question. Display goes off and on again spontaneously. I wanted to find a log about gpu driver crashes but could not understand where to look. I searched in /var/log and also looked inside /proc cannot find any stream of card functioning ?

I found this :

gediz@gg-Desk:/sys/class/drm/card0-DP-1/subsystem/card0/device$ cat device
0x67b1
gediz@gg-Desk:/sys/class/drm/card0-DP-1/subsystem/card0/device$ cat current_link_width 
16
gediz@gg-Desk:/sys/class/drm/card0-DP-1/subsystem/card0/device$ cat current_link_speed
8 GT/s
gediz@gg-Desk:/sys/class/drm/card0-DP-1/subsystem/card0/device$ cat driver_override 
(null)

And situation replicates and screen goes off and on when I do :

xrandr -q

btw edid information is :

Could you help me a little ?.You can also direct me to a guide to understand how to monitor linux kernel and driver activities closely and how dkms,dri,modules of gpu work in conjunction with Xorg.

I dont mind reading and struggling with things for long hours. A quick solution would also be appriciated.

Thank you.

I have found the problem: I forgot to update initramfs after removing amdgpu.dpm parameter.

Second problem is that Monitor has defective capacitive button which activates randomly ... Also has 19 - 20 pin dipsplay port conflict problem Dell U2711. They have deigned 3.3v at both sink and source to power up some DVI - ethernet ->> Displayport converter chips on cable. Monitor is feeding back power to case. We have cut down the 20.pin's cable

And all things are working now.
