Public bug reported: dmesg shows issues with being able to use the discrete graphics card (relevant dmesg lines attached).
Grub does pass "radeon.modeset=1" and "radeon.startpm=1" to the kernel. I've tried all combinations and same results occur. Attached are relevant dmesg lines, grep'd with 'drm'. I'll also be attaching entire contents of dmesg, /var/log/syslog, etc., but TLDR: [ 22.916285] [drm] ring test on 0 succeeded in 2 usecs [ 22.916289] [drm] ring test on 1 succeeded in 1 usecs [ 22.916292] [drm] ring test on 2 succeeded in 1 usecs [ 22.916299] [drm] ring test on 3 succeeded in 3 usecs [ 22.916304] [drm] ring test on 4 succeeded in 3 usecs [ 23.092271] [drm] ring test on 5 succeeded in 2 usecs [ 23.092276] [drm] UVD initialized successfully.
