 Already looked at this.. the linux drm driver doesn't use that table.

 That seems like a fairly hacky hack. Wouldn't it be better to just boot
 from failsafe (vesa)?

 I'd focus on the drm driver to try and figure out what it is doing
 different.  I've reviewed the code and don't see anything different.  Let
 me ping AMD and see what they think.
