no worries!  i took a peek at your dmesg and i think once you install 
the amdgpu xorg driver you'll be good to go.  the screen flash is just 
the display cutting over to the new driver and is expected.

looks like it detected both of your displays too so you window manager 
should pick them up too.  a bunch of work was done recently to make xorg 
load up correctly without any configuration files - so you shouldn't 
even need to setup an xorg.conf or anything like that :)

have fun!
