        <pre>I'm using the Padoka PPA(unstable one) with Mesa 17.0.

The current Vulkan package is "mesa-vulkan-drivers_13.0.3-1_amd64.deb". When I
start Mario Kart Wii with Dolphin I see a black window/screen and then
everything freezes, not even Ctrl+Alt+F1 working except the cursor that I can
still move in window mode. So the only thing I can do is resetting the machine.

That's very unfortunate because Vulkan may be able to break the chains of
OpenGL for this emulator that currently suffers from significantly worse
performance than on Windows on my setup.
The issue has also happened with the previous version. I don't have other games
to test but I would intuitively expect the same behavior.

I use Devuan Ascii with OpenBox and an RX 480, i7-5820k.</pre>
