Speaking from Mageia 8 testing this week, I highly recommend older
Radeon video card users need to test. Watching the Dev Mailing list
suggest everyone should at least try the Live ios if you are not setup
for testing.
I did an update and lost my X11 server and it took a subject matter expert
to tell me what change needed to be made tp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Plan to do another MGA8 clean install to see if it works sometime soon.

Could you post the changes that needed to be made in /etc/X11/conf
or a link to the solution please.

Prior to the update, /etc/X11/xorg.conf Driver was ati
The fix was change it from ati to amdgpu
# grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Driver "amdgpu"
Hopefully the latest upgrade software will make the change for you.
I will be doing a clean install for the next test shot which may not
test the update logic/software.

should make the proper change for you, but at the time of the RC release
the upgrade scripts for that weren't quite ready yet.
The developers wanted feedback to determine if there were any of these
cards that don't work with the amdgpu driver. Assuming they don't run
into that trouble, the upgrade script should be ready for the Official release.

And Mageia is up on Distrowatch.com
from which I am presently torrenting it.
It will be run in Virtual Box if there is
any justice.
