Actually, I'm using the open source radeon driver, with a 4.9 kernel.
I would expect that to work without alteration if X 1.19 was compatible
with X 1.18.

In rawhide, with 1.19, there are graphics issues.  In F25, with 1.18,
there are no issues.  Same hardware.  In F25, with 1.19 the same issues
as appear in rawhide occur.  That to me is backward incompatibility,
and should be flagged via the version number.  YMMV

That's why I switched to amd graphics.  I can use the latest kernels
without worrying about drivers.
