Thanks for your answer 

 

That looks like a driver/mesa or Xorg problem.
Which version of xserver-xorg-core and libgl1-mesa-dri do you have
installed.

These are the versions installed 

Package: xserver-xorg-core

Source: xorg-server

Version: 2:1.19.2-1

Installed-Size: 5804

Maintainer: Debian X Strike Force <debian-x@lists.debian.org>

Architecture: amd64

Package: libgl1-mesa-dri

Source: mesa

Version: 13.0.5-1

Installed-Size: 113504

Maintainer: Debian X Strike Force <debian-x@lists.debian.org>

Architecture: amd64

 

I'm not quite sure which driver you use, i.e. xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu
or xserver-xorg-video-radeon. Maybe the X maintainers can chime in here.

What kind of hardware do you have?

That's my hardware 

sudo  lspci -nn | grep VGA

00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Carrizo [1002:9874] (rev ca)

Maybe this hardware needs firmware which is not installed.

These are dmesg with firmware loading

sudo dmesg | grep -E 'drm|radeon' | grep -iE 'firmware|microcode'

[   13.279091] [drm] Found UVD firmware Version: 1.87 Family ID: 11

[   13.285678] [drm] Found VCE firmware Version: 52.4 Binary ID: 3

[   16.828883] [drm] Loading hainan Microcode

[   17.193903] radeon 0000:03:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware radeon/hainan_pfp.bin

[   17.460472] radeon 0000:03:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware radeon/hainan_me.bin

[   17.481748] radeon 0000:03:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware radeon/hainan_ce.bin

[   17.482952] radeon 0000:03:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware radeon/hainan_rlc.bin

[   17.483968] radeon 0000:03:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware radeon/hainan_mc.bin

[   17.484423] radeon 0000:03:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware radeon/hainan_k_smc.bin

 

On a cursory glance this doesn't look like a gdm problem per se.

Please tell me If it's better that I report bug trough Xorg
