[Bug 1493888] Re: FGLRX incompatible with kernel 4.2

 

falling back to radeon after some problems (i only got vesa)

runing /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk --open-tab=4
 (is part of my GPU) 

says Trinity HD7660D
then it says Cedar Radeon HD 5000/6000/7350/8350 Series
(it changes each time i start software-properties-gtk which should not!!)

sometimes it does say its uses manual driver, sometimes it says it used
recommend one

it says three greyed options (the driver)
and the only option which is manual, why cant i switch to the normal video-ati one?

also somehow not all my resolutions are supported :(

Title:
  FGLRX incompatible with kernel 4.2

Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With a R9 280 and FGLRX on ubuntu 15.10 the graphics lock up. I am
  able to SSH into the machine. I booted the older kernel
  (4.1.0-3-generic) and it works with FGLRX. After purging FGLRX and
  using xserver-xorg-video-radeon I am able to get the graphics working,
  but even it has issues with my display port (The DVI ports are working
  correctly).
