| amd ati fglrx amdgpu | <reply> On Ubuntu, AMD's official Linux graphics driver "amdgpu" is automatically loaded for matching hardware. Very old cards use driver "radeon" (r300, r600) instead.

Drivers "amdgpu-pro", "fglrx" and "ati" are not supported here. | Added by knome Date: 2015-08-03 19:17:31 Last edited by tomreyn Date: 2022-06-17 18:21:56 Requested 170 times |
