Jim, undo whatever it is that you did with the amdgpu-pro drivers and install the "xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu" (if you're on debian or a debian based distro, which I assume you are based on the mentioning of a deb package) and restart.

That card is one of the best supported by open source software. So I would just install mesa, which should be easily installed from your distro's package manager, if it's not installed already.</span> <br></div><div> <br></div><div><span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">Assuming you do need proprietary, maybe try a reboot if you haven't already?
