With Linux Mint 18 and KDE Neon the bug changes from random to boot up. It
happens the first time from a cold boot. After a restart, which means
screwing up my hard drive and holding the power button. Then turning it on
and the black screen comes back.

I' am very fustrated like Brian. Canonical doesn' t need AMD to repackage
the driver for the new X Server. Abandoned by AMD and the commercial
distros. Do not advocate AMD, they must have known this problem and ignored
it.

I have the broadcom wireless which is the bane of my existence. Linux Mint
17.3 is having no issues. So far it is certain versions of radeon and the
amdgpu of 4.3-4.5. It is good to know that it seems to be fixed. Hopefully
the fixes will be backported into the LTS kernel. Forgot to mention this
problem is happening on Win10.
