Summary

Choosing any other screen resolution but the default one causes a black/blank screen situation. I have tried this on three different laptops that have AMD processors ACER, HP & ASUS two using R5 Graphics and one using R2 Graphics.

Steps to reproduce

Right click on the Desktop. Choose "System Settings" > Displays > choose any other display resolution and click Apply.

Expected result

Screen Resolution should change to the selected one with a pop up box asking if you would like to keep the changes.

Actual result

Switches to a Black totally Blank screen.

I have added this here as it has gone quite over on the forum and this is the proper place for this hardware related bug. The Bug was not present on kernel the version 6.3.8-240 but I am not sure which kernel version broke it. I would be happy to try each version in turn to see where it broke if that would would be of help. I would need instruction how to get older versions and install them though. More detail and a brief video of the problem in the solus forum. https://discuss.getsol.us/d/9804-amd-a9-radeon-r5-graphics-driver-amdgpu

The latest update including the kernel version "com.solus-project.current.6.5.7-259" seems to have fixed the issue on both AMD Radeon R2 & R5
