That would be surprising since I can SSH to my machine and everything works 
perfectly
beside the screen not receiving any signal.  But who knows! :)

I've added xf86-video-amdgpu to Guix 1-2 weeks ago, so you don't need this
anymore.

Why do you need this?  I have managed to get everything to work without custom
services (see below).

I've tried adding the amdgpu firmware and now everything works.  Conclusion:
it's not a Guix issue, it's just that AMDGPU won't work without the proprietary
blob.  What a shame...

The ATI driver works reasonably well with the RX580, but it is lacking in terms
of X support.  I noticed that beside failing to wake up from sleep, it also
fails with many RandR queries (for instance `xrandr` would only list 2 modes out
of 14 with my screen, brightness queries would fail with redshift, etc.).

Does anyone know if ATI intends to improve support with the RX580?
