What kernel version are you both running? The new integrated vega APUs and the vega GPUs use the amdgpu kernel driver, which is new. It was fairly unstable until recently. If you're on the latest 4.19 that probably isn't the problem (not that it is impossible). 4.19.59 is the current upstream longterm. If you're on something pre-4.18 I'd expect problems. I don't know if all the amdgpu issues are backported to 4.14 - I would probably stick with 4.19 with anything Ryzen/Vega-related. It is possible this isn't the problem, but this sounds like some kind of KMS-related issue. If you can't switch to a virtual console with KMS that is probably a kernel issue. I'm assuming you are using the in-kernel amdgpu drivers. If you're using some kind of proprietary driver that could be a problem as well. -- Rich
