I have an R9 280X, I was wondering, can i install the xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu driver on deepin without having to build a new kernel?

the default xserver-xorg-video-ati plays havoc with the refresh rate of my screen, the screen blinks on and off at 120/144hz - it's an ASUS MG279Q

I've added

amdgpu

to /etc/modules

amdgpu shows up

~$ sudo lsmod | grep amdgpu
[sudo] password for toddbrowser:
amdgpu                618496  0
ttm                    94208  2 amdgpu,radeon
i2c_algo_bit           16384  3 i915,amdgpu,radeon
drm_kms_helper        139264  3 i915,amdgpu,radeon
drm                   356352  22 ttm,i915,drm_kms_helper,amdgpu,radeon

but radeon is still there

I created a blacklist-radeon.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d

blacklist ati
blacklist radeon

but it still shows up

~$ sudo lsmod | grep amdgpu
[sudo] password for toddbrowser:
amdgpu                618496  0
ttm                    94208  2 amdgpu,radeon
i2c_algo_bit           16384  3 i915,amdgpu,radeon
drm_kms_helper        139264  3 i915,amdgpu,radeon
drm                   356352  22 ttm,i915,drm_kms_helper,amdgpu,radeon

it should be blacklistin radeon, why not? any idea what i'm missing?
