Hi,
I am desperately trying to resolve my final issue with my media center set-up.
Essentially, it appears that my graphics card is not functional with Ubuntu.

I have the following card:

The rest of the hardware:

I have attempted to install fglrx via 'Additional Drivers' this simply results in a black screen (then I am forced to purge fglrx) - I have attempted this several times.

Please let me know if you require further information and I will reply ASAP.
I am very keen to resolve this, however I have run out of ideas and could really use a hand (Kodi is unusable with software emulation, and its driving me crazy!)

Thank you.

P:S - I have also tried running 16.04 on a live USB and found that it also uses software emulation. The difference is - Obviously I don't have the option to use fglrx, so I guess I'll stick with 15.10 for now.
