Linux AMDGPU-PRO graphics card

[Habakkuk]

I'm using Linux Mint 18.1 - I'm looking to upgrade to a AMD Fury graphics card.

As Linux Mint 18.1 is based on Ubuntu 16.04, I tried using a R9 270X with a recompiled 4.9 kernel with support for GCN1.0 cards enabled but I'm getting corrupted fonts.

Has anyone already used the Fury/FuryX cards under Mate/Cinnamon with the closed source AMDGPU-PRO drivers?

Managed to get 270x working under 4.10 kernel with modified xorg and mesa drivers.

Just under AMDGPU not AMDGPU-PRO, but it's workable.

4.10 onwards kernals support more amd cards.
