ATI Radeon Xpress 200

[bitsnpcs]

First off, welcome back to the forum!  You took a sabbatical around the time I was joining the forum.

Your profile shows you using Linux Lite 3.2 and an ATI graphics card, which is AMD related.  AMD didn't get their proprietary drivers in Ubuntu 16.04, which is what the Linux Lite 3.x series is based on.  So I'm not sure what you mean when you write:

I have tried selecting the proprietary driver

If you mean you selected the proprietary driver for your CPU because it was unselected at the time, I would keep that selection.  Your graphics issue is more than likely related to the fact that your graphics card is AMD related.  As a result, you're having to use the open source AMD drivers instead of the AMD proprietary drivers.  I've had some success with the open source driver, but it is going to be a best effort driver and not perfect for everyone's setup.

hello,
thank you for the welcome back . I think I had begun to learn last time, but have not retained that start.
Yes I have just begun to set up this computer with LL 3.2 today, my other LL computer is on v2.n.
Which selection should I keep for the CPU, proprietary or none ?

On the link you gave me I tried so far

Code:

lspci | grep -E 'VGA|Display'

It supplied a result of chipset RS400, this is the first entry on the table of Fully Supported, with ticks for, Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04, and 16.04+

I then continued on to -

Code:

dmesg | egrep 'drm|radeon'

Which produced no errors

I then continued to -

Code:

sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo

to "Make sure your OpenGL renderer string does not say "software rasterizer" or "llvmpipe"", it did not say either of these.

The next step of, "removing the fglrx driver" if you've previously installed it, I am unsure if this is installed as part of LL 3.2 ?

The final step of -
"Recommended configuration for X.org No configuration is necessary for ATI driver in the modern versions of Ubuntu.  You can safely take away your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and your computer should run fine."

I do not know how to do this?

[member=5414]firenice03[/member] - did you try the step of remove your /etc/X11/xorg.conf , if so did it help ?
