Created attachment 258103 [details] journalctl -b -1 When booting early KMS sets resolution somehow improperly. I attached example of what it looks like. Appears that columns of pixels are skipped and other visible columns are shifted left. Motherboard boot splashscreen and text of bootloader (systemd-boot) are displayed properly, as soon as Xorg kicks in everything is again displayed properly. I also tried various combinations of video= and drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware= boot parameters but nothing had any effect. This issue surfaced after getting AMD card. Before i was using nvidia card with proprietary driver and this monitor displayed boot text properly, although in low resolution. In attached boot.log you can see logs of DMAR spam. When troubleshooting that i disabled relevant features and DMAR no longer spewed any errors, however it did not affect display of boot text output and it still was messed up. It also prevented me from using VMs with passed-through GPU so that is why DMAR stuff is enabled with all the error spam. I have another 1080p monitor and it displays everything correctly on boot. It is connected to AMD card through DVI cable.

Created attachment 258105 [details] What it looks like Colors on 1440p are fine, they look weird due to me using phone to take pictures.

what is the modeline for the 1440p monitor? Can you attach your xorg log with the problematic monitor attached?
Created attachment 258117 [details] Xorg.0.log 1440p monitor modeline: "2560x1440"x60.0 241.50 2560 2608 2640 2720 1440 1443 1448 1481 +hsync -vsync (88.8 kHz eP)
I swapped cable to displayport and now it is working properly. Must be issue with HDMI then.
Any chance you can try an amd-staging kernel with DC enabled, to see if it happens with that as well?
amd-staging kernel appears to be working. Since archlinux linux-amd-staging-git package which i used in test is broken i could only get to errors about missing modules and to emergency shell. Text is properly rendered on boot, although resolution appears to be 1920x1080 or similar.
amdgpu.dc=1 with 4.15 kernel fixes the issue.
