Description serge 2014-11-23 16:59:58 UTC 
Hello,

Since the 3.17.3 kernel when starting X,I got a black screen with no tty acces,with stable mesa or mesa-git.

If i switch to catalyst,all is fine,also after downgrading the kernel to 3.17.2 i can start X with mesa drivers.

I did a git bisect and the result is:

    drm/radeon: fix speaker allocation setup
    
    commit 4910403836ded89803fab201d4b5caaa85de3a89 upstream.
    
    If the sad_count is 0, set the hw to stereo and change
    the error message to a warn.  A lot of monitors don't
    set the speaker allocation block.

I forgot to mention that it is happening with an HD6950,which is plugged by hdmi to an audio receiver which is connected to my tv.
