Issues installing amdgpu-pro drivers, help please

**lukas522** · July 22nd, 2017

Hi, first at all my apologies for my poor english. Its not my native language.

Well, i will tell what is my problem:

I have a laptop with dedicated graphics card (AMD R7 m445) identified by Windows 10 without any problems. Also i've installed UBUNTU (16.04.02) updated manually right now.

Code:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release:    16.04
Codename:    xenial

If I type lshw -C display
i get:

Code:

$ $ sudo lshw -C display

Forget the spanish part, the system gets my graphics card as Radeon R7 M260/M265 and not as M445.

If i run GpuTest i get the result of the attached image (1Resultado GPUTest.png)

And already i have any additional driver disabled then I guess I am doing something wrong.

Going back to the results of lshw -C display command, those cards (M445, M260 and M265) appears as supported by AMDGPU-PRO and I installed that driver as the page says in the manual but I get an error during installation process (I dont know here to find the log of that error but the snapshot is the second attachment) but installer says "Install complete". But when I reboot the system can't load graphic login, says it is working in low resolution and only I can log as old school with Ctr + Alt + F1...F6 in order to run uninstallation script.

How can I do that driver installation? or where is the error to fix it?

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Hello.

Have you attempted to disable the Intel graphics through your BIOS/EFI?

**lukas522** · July 22nd, 2017

Yes, i tried but i didn't found where or how. Unfortunately i'm very novice with that system (I've been working years ago with bios) X(

I will look on Internet looking for that and if it fix my problem i will publish how.

Thanks
