Black screen with solid cursor after update
It's been a while since I've updated but went for it today. After a reboot to load the new kernel (previously on 4.9.8) I got a black screen with a solid cursor (not blinking).
I was able to SSH into my machine from my phone but couldn't get xorg-server started.
I use i3-gaps, with lightdm. Because I'm using the Vi0l0 catalyst drivers for my AMD R9 280x I have the xorg-server pinned at 1.17.4-2.
I was able to get it working again by rolling back from 4.11.9-1 to 4.9.8-1 but I'm still not sure what the issue was.
Will I have any problems being on an older kernel after all the packages were updated?
