[SOLVED] Sudden reboot of xorg in Arch xfce

Hello, recently after installing Arch with xfce desktop environment using archinstall script, I started to experience the following problem:

For different reasons (like because I opened the video) xorg is restarted, sometimes the keyboard stops responding (although of the open programs were firefox and telegram), and if still xorg started again, then It stop displaying the video normally  (only audio works), helps only a full reboot.

There's xorg logs: https://pastebin.com/Y7r4kHZQ

Re: [SOLVED] Sudden reboot of xorg in Arch xfce

X11 doesn't "reboot", what can happen is that the X11 server or your session crashes.
The relevant xorg log would not be the current one, but the Xorg.0.log.old and pot. the journal of that boot eg.

sudo journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

for the previous (-1) boot.

For different reasons (like because I opened the video)

Since this seems to be a sea-islands chip, try the amdgpu module (and perhaps modesetting driver for a start), https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU … K)_support
