Have just done a hardware upgrade with existing Ubuntu 14.04, including an AMD APU A10-7700K. But I found that the 3 offerings in Additional Drivers didn't work properly so I couldn't start the Control Centre, and couldn’t get OpenCL. So I installed the Catalyst 14.4 package from AMD (which wasn't too hard!), but now I get a black border on my screen. My monitor is a Samsung 22" LED S22D300. Otherwise all seems OK. I found some instructions at wiki.cchtml.com but didn't work. Playing with the settings in Control Centre didn't work either. Anyone else have this problem? How to fix it?
I followed a guide to install drivers for my graphic card, However when I restart, Ubuntu merely shows a blank screen. I can get a terminal through CTRL+ALT+F1, but that's about it. Where exactly am I going wrong, and what exactly can I do to fix my current situation?
I use a laptop with an external monitor and a Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.
I have Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm trying to set up extended display for my two displays.
I have an AMD 6870.
fglrx and fglrx-updates are installed.
When I launch amdcccle trough the terminal (using sudo), I select in tab "Multi-Display" the option "Multi-display Desktop with Display(s)".
Then it says for changes to be done I have to reboot my computer.
Being a good an obedient lad I do just that, but after rebooting the displays are still in the same "clone" option as before in the Catalyst Control Center and no changes are made.
Any suggestions?
I'm using a Toshiba Satellite T135D with GPU Radeon Mobility HD 3200
I've installed latest driver catalyst from AMD and why the graphics performance of my laptop become slower than previous? My step
Download and install the driver
sudo aticonfig --inital -f
Turn off Vscync and change the refresh rate in CCSM, but the performance still laggy T_T
Everytime when I edit the monitor preferences in AMD to multi-monitor or to a multidesktop, when I press save or apply the program just closes with no errors and the preferences hasn't been saved. If I try to do it via the Displays app that is built-in in ubuntu 11.10 I get the following error:
The selected configuration for displays could not be applied
required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(2560, 1024), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1280, 1280)
I don't know if it helps but my graphics card is a ATI Radeon HD 4800 and my monitors are both 1280x1024. I'm running the proprietary driver without post-release updates because I always get an error trying to install that one.
