Hello,
I will attempt one last time to get a correction done to the book.
I found that with this driver that I got fence wait ring timeouts when
booting into gnome running on xorg. I posted on the freedesktop bugzilla,
against as it turned out the wrong existing bug report, but was pointed to
the solution by Michel Dänzer, an employee of AMD and author of the
required patches. This issue affects multiple distros and multiple
desktop environments, ie kde, gnome, lxqt. The bug report is at:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105381
The patches can be located in there git repository at:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/
They have been published there 7 days ago for 5 of the patches and 8 days
ago for another. I did not bother with the patches but did a git pull and
made sure the error went away that way, but there are both patches, and
diff available.
Christopher.
