It has to do with the open sourced ATI driver. Im using an ATI HD7850,
two of them. This is a problem for v14 as well. Ubuntu is the only
distribution having this bug. Fedora and Debian do not have this issue.
Gallium .4 works with this hardware.

This is a really odd bug because Fedora team have found a way to mimic
the proprietary driver functions using open source ATI drivers.Im
surprised they havent backported the changes so that debian based
systems can benefit. Even OpenCL is supported this way. On other setups
you need the fglrx packages installed for this to work correctly.

Also Im suprised that Debian has the lead lately with stretch. I thought ubuntu was based off of sid releases. You seem to be a tad behind.
I would have to try again with a live cd, as Im on debian. Will have to get back to yall.
