[Bug 1573648] [NEW] 16.04 -> AMD APU via VGA gives blank screen

 

Public bug reported:

After upgrade to 16.04, the system will only show a blank screen when a monitor is connected to the VGA output.
The system itself is able to completely start-up (checked via a ssh login).

Starting up using an older kernel (in this case 4.2.0) gives a
functional graphical system.

Possibly related dmesg lines (when booting 4.4.0):
  kernel: [    9.131059] [drm:radeon_dp_link_train [radeon]] *ERROR* clock recovery reached max voltage
  kernel: [    9.131088] [drm:radeon_dp_link_train [radeon]] *ERROR* clock recovery failed

It might be related to the following kernel post (but i am not entirely sure):
