            Bug ID: 104248
           Summary: Black screen after switching refresh rate from 144 Hz

          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)

          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

Output of dmesg

My monitor supports 144 Hz as refresh rate which works fine. But switching from
144 Hz to a lower value (like 120 Hz) always results in a black screen with no
signal.

The intention is to use 144 Hz for games and 120 Hz on the desktop. PowerPlay
doesn't work with 144 Hz, so the GPU wastes energy and gets hotter than
necessary.

Switching between other rates (like 120 -> 60 -> 100 -> 60 -> 120) works fine.
It also worked correctly with previous cards (HD4830 and HD6850).

The workaround is to stay on 120 Hz all the time. When the screen shows no
signal, resuming from standby brings it back.

Things I have tried so far:
1. Disabling DPM with "echo high > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile"
-> Same results

2. Using Linux 4.15-RC3 with enabled DC (amdgpu.dc=1)
-> Refresh rates higher than 60 Hz are not supported
-> Is this known or should I file a separate bug report?

Hardware:
PowerColor RX 560 (POLARIS 11)
LG Electronics 24GM77-B, connected via DVI cable

Software:
Linux 4.14.5 x86_64
Mesa 17.2.6
Xorg 1.19.5
xf86-video-amdgpu 1.4.0
