Re: Linux 4.9.7

[Ed Tomlinson]

Hi,

Any reports of 4.9.7 breaking X?  

I run arch and keep it up to date.  With todays updates and 4.9.7 built 
here X will not start kde correctly.  Reverting to 4.9.6 fixes things.  
Config is the same for both builds. I have three btrfs patches and the BFQ 
4.9.0-v8r7 patchset applied on top of stable git's 4.9.{6|7}.

Suggestions on what to look for or to try reverting (via git)

xorg-server is 1.19.1-1
xf86-video-amdgpu 1.2.0-2
mesa is 13.0.4-1

kernel is x86_64

Thanks
Ed
