Hi,
I have done a fresh install of Solus 4.4 Budgie and ALL works perfect. 😃 I made my preferred adjustment to the screen resolution and checked the web cam, mic's, etc, etc & all was good.
After I did the prompted security update I rebooted arrived back at the lockscreen I entered the password and I hear the login tone but the screen remains black with just the backlight showing.
To cut a long story short the latest com.solus-project.current.6.5.3-256 does not work with any other screen resolution than the default 1920 x 1080 (16.9).
I reverted to the com.solus-project.current.6.3.8-240 kernel and that works great regardless of the chosen resolutions.
Hopefully it's an easy fix 🤞
If any further details or logs etc are required just let me know. 👍️

Possible same issue? https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2109318#p2109318 post #12 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d6149086b45e150c170beaa4546495fd1880724c

The issues you linked have already been fixed in kernel 6.5.3. The sync today brought kernel 6.5.5 and updated linux-firmware, is this issue still present?

Sorry I missed your reply last night.
Sadly the issue is still present on the above device and I have just tried it on an old HP laptop too (model details below) with exactly the same issue.
It's easy to reproduce by just changing the screen resolution to anything other than the default.
Luckily thanks to the time out feature it reverts back to the default resolution if the changes are not accepted and the screen is visible again.

What can and did catch me out is if you had previously set the resolution to a none default one and then upgraded to the broken kernel all you do is boot to a black screen after the Login one.

On a side note now I have updated again the working 6.3.8-240 is gone from the Kernel List. 😢

Here is a little video of what happens when switching resolutions.

Fixed!

The latest update including the kernel version "com.solus-project.current.6.5.7-259" seems to have fixed the issue on both AMD Radeon R2 & R5.

Thanks! 😃
