I am now looking, thanks for filing! :-)

I can't say I have these problems. I'll have a closer look tonight. I 
fear the instructions are badly outdated in the wiki and at the moment, 
I can only recommend drm-next+Mesa 17 for this purpose...

Also: thanks for radeontop, even though using that crashes X11 on the
