as I said, I only tried current linux mint Kernel which is 4.4.0-38-generic
right now. With that one AND the default radeon driver module for amd card =
R9
290 4GB, I have no problems at all. I can do 2560x1440 resolution @ 144=
hz.
Second I upgradedm, as I posted, to the ubuntu kernel 4.8.0 from ubuntu ppa,
which gives errors (strong flickering in 2d mode, 3d works at some point but
also gives few flickering problems) WITH 2560x1440 resolution, for all hz a=
bove
60hz (which means flickering at 100,120 and 144)
Furthermore the amd beta driver amdgpu-pro gives in every kernel I tried (4=
.4
and 4.8) flickering problems with refreshrates above 60hz.
-> but here note: I switched ( with kernel 4.4.0-38-generic + amdgpu-pro
16.30.3-315407) to 1080p resolution and 144,120 and 100hz gave NO errors at
all, which means no flickering! Dunno why. maybe an 1440p issue.
