Title:
  Xorg segfaults with AMD HD 7xxx and fresh Ubuntu 16.04

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Tried doing a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 on my rig outfitted with
  an HD 7850, and it crashes on boot due to my AMD card installed.

  Note that I wasn't able to even install Ubuntu in the first place
  without modifying grub to set radeon.modeset=0 due to the black screen
  issue. This issue is reproducible every time.

  BT not too helpful, but included nonetheless.

  Note that if the debug information says intel graphics that's because
  I needed to remove my card in order to write this bug report.

  WORKAROUND: Remove the AMD card.

Brian Rak, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

To see if this is already resolved, could you please test
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and advise to the results?

** Description changed:

  Tried doing a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 on my rig outfitted with an
- HD 7850, and it crashes on boot due to my AMD card installed.  When I
- removed the AMD card I was able to boot into Ubuntu.  AFAIK, the drivers
- with Ubuntu should support this card even though it is older, and even
- I'm incorrect and it isn't supported, xorg should probably fail more
- gracefully than a segfault, thus the bug report.

  Note that I wasn't able to even install Ubuntu in the first place
  without modifying grub to set radeon.modeset=0 due to the black screen
- issue.  I believe this modeset might have been set when the crash
- occurred.  This issue is reproducible every time.
