Hi,

I am trying to install ATI driver on kubuntu 14.04.5 but no success. I have tried suggestions from various platforms, crashed and reinstalled system 4 times, but doesn't work at all!

My system has ATI Radeon HD 7670M with Intel HD 3000 graphic card. If I use the recommended settings from the 'Proprietary section' the glxinfo shows the intel gpu. However, I want to install drivers for the AMD card. If I choose the fglrx or fglrx-updates options it doesn't work. Even tried to install it via command line or generated the deb files from the package provided for 14.04 on amd website. Nothing works!!

If I try to install the AMD driver I get following output from the glxinfo or fglrxinfo


~$ glxinfo
name of display: :0
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 154 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext)
Value in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 30
Current serial number in output stream: 31


~$ fglrxinfo
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 154 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
Value in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 17
Current serial number in output stream: 18



With the recommended setting ( only intel driver)

Any help will be appreciated. I need to drivers to run OpenCL caffe but I have wasted 1 whole day and no success with the driver..

Thanks for mentioning OpenCL Caffe. It gave me an interesting Google journey.

Since this is new hard- and software have you considered a fresh install of 16.10, for example in a dual boot?

I have an HP laptop with a hybrid Intel and "[AMD/ATI] Whistler [Radeon HD 6730M/6770M/7690M XT]" video device. I found I could turn off the Intel device in the BIOS and then install fglrx.

That machine is running some recently updated version of Kubuntu 14.04.

Bear in mind :
HardWare Enablemnet stack (HWE).
If in 14.04.5 you are running the xenial kernel then it applies that AMD has moved on and only supports the open source driver(s).
What kernel are we working with ?
