If you have no problems sacrificing all the acceleration by your AMD GPU, you can try using libre uvesafb for Xorg graphics. What I wrote at <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2020-04/msg00320.html> was not necessary there but maybe is in your case. That said, this situation is far from ideal, but I don’t think the AMD firmware will be freed (if there is no other way). Regards, Florian
