Supported, but hardware is too old for Unity
However the open source AMDGPU driver is available to install through the xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu package. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: if you have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Linux kernel 4.4.0 ( HWE stack Xenial), you can't install the proprietary fglrx/Catalyst driver.
For Ubuntu 16.04 LTS AMDGPU-Pro hybrid driver is also available to download here (please read the release notes for known problems and limitations). Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and newer: for some most recent graphics cards (R9 285, R9 380/380X, R9 M395X, R9 Nano/Fury/FuryX, RX 460/470/480, RX 550/560/570/580.) and APUs (Carrizo, Stoney), the open-source AMDGPU driver is enabled by default. If the report shows two different hardware devices, then you probably have a "hybrid graphics" system, with an iGP (integrated graphics processor inside the CPU) and a dedicated GPU. It should report something like this for your graphics card and/or APU: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. The Radeon driver is already pre-installed in Ubuntu.įirst, check your graphic card name and chipset: sudo update-pciids #optional command, requires internet Furthermore the Radeon driver supports some older chipsets that fglrx does not. For the most recent releases of Ubuntu (and its flavours) this driver is usually as fast as the closed-source, proprietary fglrx driver (called AMD Catalyst) from AMD Inc. This driver provides 2D and 3D acceleration in your video hardware.
This guide shows you how to use the open source Radeon driver for some ATI/AMD graphics cards and APUs, which is part of the xserver-xorg-video-ati package.
