Edit: To clarify, this only happens on Xubuntu 18.04. It does not happen on Windows or the BIOS/UEFI prompt.
Edit: Expanded my work around a bit.
Edit: AMD hasn't released proprietary drivers yet for 18.04. I tried but they're extremely unstable.
So, when I turn my monitor off, then back on, the resfresh rate drops to 59hz and my resolution goes to 1366×768. My monitor is an ASUS 144hz 1080p monitor, but after I do this, it will stay stuck there and I can no longer set the monitor to its optimal resolution and refresh rate.
I'm really not sure why this happens. I've listed my specs below. I'll try to figure out what version I'm using of the open source drivers.
Expected:
Turning monitor on and off and then back on should use correct display resolution and refresh rate.
Result:
Turning off monitor, then turning it back on changes display resolution and refresh rate, along with removing the option to change to anything higher than 1376x768 and 59hz.
Work Around:
Unplug monitor from power, then plug back in.

- Xubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Sapphire Radeon RX 580 Pulse 8GB

- Asus Crosshair VII Hero X470
