Public bug reported: I have Ubuntu 18.04 on my system. When I boot, I get a black screen once mode switching happens. Rescue mode (aka nomodeswitch) would bring me to a gui screen correctly.
I tried backing off to X.org from Wayland, but that didn't help. I eventually found an obscure post suggesting adding amdgpu.dc=0 to the command line. With this added, I have the GUI I expect. Originally the system worked as expected, but something changed which required this setting. The graphics card is an AMD RX480.
