Hi, I need some help dear community- I am following the german ubuntu Wiki to install the fglrx AMD driver... but now I stuck ... What I did since yet: Download the AMD driver from here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux x86 1. Code (Text): sudo apt-get install dh-make dh-modaliases execstack dkms linux-headers-generic 2. Code (Text): sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1 3. going into the driver folder Code (Text): cd /home/*MYUSERNAME*/Downloads/fglrx-15-302/ 4. Now I tried to build the packages Code (Text): sudo sh amd-*-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg got this Error Code (Text): Error: Packaging scripts failed to identify current distro/version. Please provide a distro/version from --listpkg as a parameter did what it wants Code (Text): sudo sh amd-*-x86.x86_64.run --listpkg and now I have the following options: Code (Text): Ubuntu/gutsy Ubuntu/hardy Ubuntu/intrepid Ubuntu/jaunty Ubuntu/karmic Ubuntu/lucid Ubuntu/maverick Ubuntu/natty Ubuntu/oneiric Ubuntu/precise Ubuntu/quantal Ubuntu/raring Ubuntu/saucy Ubuntu/source Ubuntu/trusty Ubuntu/utopic Ubuntu/wily What should I choose? Or is this driver version not supporting elementary OS? I got this by checking out my Ubuntu architecture: Code (Text): uname -rm Code (Text): 4.10.0-35-generic x86_64 Hope you can help me! Greetings, Max M.
Ok I noticed that this Driver is not supported anymore. SO I find I guide how to start applications with the AMD Chip. Code (Text): xrandr --listproviders Code (Text): xrand --setprovidersoffloadsink 0x42("my AMD Chip") 0x48 ("my Intel Chip") starting with Intel Chip Code (Text): ("programmname") | grep "OpenGL renderer" starting with AMD Chip: Code (Text): DRI_PRIME=1 ("programmname") | grep "OpenGL renderer" Maybe some could tell me how to switch between the chips or disable one of them? Thank you!
