X crash with Radeon RX560 amdgpu driver 17.50

I have a Radeon RX560 on Linux Mint 18.3. This Linux distribution is normally very similar to Ubuntu and I am able to get packages from Ubuntu's apt xenial repositories.

I am trying to install the AMDGPU-pro 17.50 drivers​.

My kernel is 4.13.0-37.

The install proceeds with error (I need to edit the amdgpu-install script to replace "ubuntu" with "linuxmint" so that it accepts to proceed with my OS):

./amdgpu-install

Then, I reboot and X server fails to start:

My graphic card says:

inxi -Gx

Graphics: Card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Baffin [Radeon RX 550 640SP/ RX560] bus-ID: 01:00.0

Display Server: X.org 1.18.4 drivers: (unloaded: fbdev, vesa) FAILED: amdgpu

tty size: 430x90 Advanced Data: N/A out of X

I have also tried with kernel 4.10.0-42 and get the same X crash.

Previously, I managed to get the 17.40 drivers working with another kernel, but I don't know what has changed, and I can't it to work anylonger.

Help appreciated!

I just solved the issue.

In /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d:

backup the configuration files 00-amdgpu.conf and 10-amdgpu.conf (in my case) and remove them.

For example:

sudo mv 00-amdgpu.conf 00-amdgpu.conf.bak

sudo mv 10-amdgpu.conf 10-amdgpu.conf.bak

Then, restart MDM: sudo service mdm restart

X started ok in my case.

Hope this solves issue for other users.

Would be good though that AMD debugs those drivers install a bit better though...
