The RX550 is not properly supported in 14.2. It requires a newer graphics
stack than what's in 14.2. Your card is running in a barbones mode since
proper drivers aren't included, so any heavy graphics programs are likely
going to fail.

These should be resolved on -current and can only be resolved on 14.2 by
upgrading mesa, llvm, libdrm, xf86-video-amdgpu, and a few dependencies.
