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. See the !man pages for X options, "modinfo -p <graphics-driver>" for kernel parameters. Both drivers are open source and integrate with MESA and !DRI. 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
