** Description changed: + Ubuntu 18.04.1 - gnome-shell 3.28.3 + I have a video playback/scrolling flickering issues on HD5500, AMD M260 Topaz. Somehow the nvidia has been automatically installed and the system didn't realize that there is no nvidia card, so almost crapped my amd card, and made half of the monitor unusable with lines. (like in a crappy old monitor) syslog told several times that NVidia adapter not found, and system-udev realized that something is trying accessing too frequently to a device, but the NVidia is too big company not to try to kill an amd based graphics card. syslog showed some thousand line similar to this block: (even if it has been installed it should realize that there is a working mesa driver installed for the device and it shouldn't be replaced forcibly behind the scene while playing video in full-screen mode or because of starting chrome followed by a 100% CPU usage, just make the system collapse, and crap the amd card, just nvidia would like to be right always, even if it hasn't found any register, what an nvidia card has) Nov 27 20:17:57 raxim-SATELLITE-L50-B systemd-udevd[1380]: Process '/sbin/modprobe nvidia-uvm' failed with exit code 1.
