I am currently trying to install graphics drivers for my GPU. But my case may be a bit different, I have an APU A10-7770K and a graphics card Radeon R7 250X. I tried many, many times to get my rig run properly, with the package manager :
apt-get install fglrx,
apt-get install fglrx-updates .
With the automated installer provided by AMD for Linux, with the packages, downloaded from AMD and using the "Additional Drivers". They all install successfully but upon starting the OS, my GUI(Unity) crashes. I've been trying to edit the xorg.conf file, but nothing works. Every time upon error, I uninstall all the drivers from recovery mode with networking and root access with
apt-get purge fglrx. I think, maybe the APU is conflicting with the driver. Because these drivers are compatible with the GPU: R7 250X but not the GPU in the APU and if the APU GPU is set to be default this is where the problem may be. Unfortunately I do not know how to check it nor set it. Please give your suggestions.
My onboard GPU is disabled in UEFI BIOS, but still showing in linux, I have no idea why. Output of lspci | grep VGA:
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Kaveri [Radeon R7 200 Series]
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde XT [Radeon HD 7770/8760 / R7 250X]
Upon every reboot my xorg.config file is rewritten. All the settings made by
aticonfig --initial are being overwritten.
apt-get install fglrx,
apt-get install fglrx-updates .
