Why haven't you used a driver for 20.04?

As a double check please run


lshw -C video

and post the output in this thread using the quotes icon. would you also run


ubuntu-drivers devices


ubuntu-drivers list

I assume that you are looking for a proprietary video driver. Software & Updates>Additional Drivers tab will list available proprietary video drivers. We must be connected to the internet at the time.

I don't understand why you're mucking around with this. The AMD/Radeon drivers are free and normally present no problems.
Is this a new install?
In that case redo it and trust the installer. Messing around with video drivers is a Windows/NVidia thing. There no reason at all to find your own drivers.

The radeon module appears to be in use already. To confirm, you can issue the following in the terminal:


lsmod | grep radeon

There are currently two AMD drivers for Linux: radeon and amdgpu. The appropriate driver for whichever hardware is supported is installed (more accurately, the appropriate module is activated in the kernel) during installation.

amdgpu-pro is a proprietary overlay for amdgpu. If your device is not supported by amdgpu and amdgpu is not active, you simply cannot install amdgpu-pro.

There is nothing further for you to do. The correct module is active.

Okay but my resolution cant go more than 1024x768/60Hz
