Hi Brian I see in the Journal that this is with the updated radeon-firmware.

Summary: APU Graphics fail on Kernel 3.9.1 => APU Graphics fail on Kernel 6.3.9-1
does 6.3.9-1.1 from: http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/mageia.org/people/tmb/Cauldron/bugs/32037/ behave any differently ?
Yes that fixed it. $ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 6.3.9-desktop-1.1.mga9 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jun 22 17:01:59 UTC 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux
thanks, I've reported the issue upstream for those patches that now are queued for upcoming upstream 6.3.10... I'll release a full set of 6.3.9-2 with the offending patches removed and a few other bugfixes
kernel-6.3.9-2.mga9 uploaded

I've pushed a kernel-6.4.1-1.mga9 to Core Backports Testing... Does that one work for you ?
Laptop - A6 R4 graphics - APU (Xfce) AMD A6-9225 RADEON R4 - cpupower-6.4.1-3.mga9.x86_64 - kernel-desktop-6.4.1-3.mga9.x86_64 - kernel-desktop-latest-6.4.1-3.mga9.x86_64 - kernel-userspace-headers-6.4.1-3.mga9.x86_64 ----- after reboot Working. $ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 6.4.1-desktop-3.mga9 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Jul 2 18:21:07 UTC 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux ----- Did i miss your actual update? I think an update to release came before I picked up backports. Then this update was in core-updates-testing.
perfect, matches upstream findings. they tracked down the missing commit that fixed the breakage on Amd Stoney hw. and yes, you "missed" some updates but no worries... when I posted comment 12 I had built kernel-6.4.1-1.mga9 in Core Backports Testing, then found a few missing fixes, pushed kernel-6.4.1-2.mga9 to backports testing... and when I got upstream confirmation I pushed 6.4.1-3.mga9 (the one you tested) with additional fixes to Core Updates Testing so now we know exactly what broke and have the upstream fix for this issue. So thanks for testing, and comfirming its fixed. Closing again.
