[SOLVED] AMDGPU, no xrandr rotation, glxgears crash

I've recently installed AMDGPU as per the instructions in the wiki. I've recompiled my kernel to have Sea Islands support (as I've got an R9 390). I recently came from Catalyst and wanted to give the new open source driver a try.

I've encountered a few problems.

1: I cannot rotate the screen.

 xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --rotate left

returns

 xrandr: output DVI-D-0 cannot use rotation "left" reflection "none" 

[EDIT3] Rotating the screen works now that I have the color depth set right. Perhaps some other change is responsible.

2. running glxgears crashes X. [EDIT] Running chromium or firefox ALSO crashes X.
[EDIT2] This was solved by changing the default depth from 16 to 24 in the xorg.conf. Common examples online use 16 as the default depth, but enabling glamour and dri3 requires the use of a color depth of at least 24.

Has anyone else run into these issues?
