| nhaines | Well, time to find out if Ubuntu dropping the AMD Catalyst drivers means I can't boot graphically anymore. Will be fun times! | 07:53 |
|---|---|---|
| nhaines | It's exciting because that's how I wanted to spend my evening. | 07:53 |
| daxcat | radeon works well these days | 07:57 |
| daxcat | which graphics card do you have? | 07:57 |
| DonkeyHotei | there's a new kernel driver, amdgpu | 07:58 |
| daxcat | yep. Volcanic Islands cards use that, and I think Sea Islands can too but not 100% sure. Everything else is radeon. | 07:59 |
| nhaines | daxcat: sort of a Radeon HD 6520G. | 08:37 |
| DonkeyHotei | i don't think catalyst has supported that in a long time | 08:41 |
| nhaines | Well, that'd be wrong. | 08:50 |
| nhaines | In any case, there's just vesa support now. | 08:50 |
| DonkeyHotei | there should be radeon | 08:54 |
| nhaines | It isn't loading. But I think Ubuntu didn't uninstall fglrx cleanly, so making the appropriate changes. | 08:56 |
| nhaines | Seems to work now. | 08:59 |
| nhaines | Video playback is smoother on the occasional trouble videos, too. Have to test gaming, but so far this is auspicious. | 09:03 |
| nhaines | We'll maybe call it suboptimal. | 09:13 |
| daxcat | radeon does video and desktop stuff better. fglrx does gaming better and everything else worse | 09:38 |
| daxcat | since the only good game is nethack, radeon ftw | 09:38 |
| nhaines | I do most of my gaming in Windows, so it will be a slight inconvenience, but it should suffice. | 09:58 |
