Check the contents of grub conf,
what is the difference to the recovery case!?


Re: X problems in Stretch with AMD APU?

2017-08-20 Thread Zoltán Herman
Hi Alle,

the 4.9 kernel already has amd graphics support, but it needs firmware,
others do not have to(perhaps mesa, opengl, opencl). The X window must be
on the radeon driver.

If I were upgrading then I would always install a new one and switch
off the old(or will be secondary hdd :)
(Even if I sacrifice three days)

systemctl status bluetooth ?

Greetings
Zoltán

X problems in Stretch with AMD APU?

And what kind of kernel is installed 4.9 or 4.11?
Check the kernel log to see if the firmware has been loaded.

I have a home theatre PC with an AMD A6-3500 APU. Bit of an oldie but still
plays everything fine. The drivers supplied by the Jessie repositories
(including fglrx for hardware acceleration) worked fine.

But then I upgraded to Stretch and suddenly started without X. The debian
supplied drivers don't seem to support the A6 any more?

I got everything working again 3 weeks ago by installing the proprietary
drivers (catalyst 15.9). But now X has gone again and the same catalyst
package refuses to install.

The error message that the installer gives is that the X version is too low
for catalyst?

Then I removed (--purge) xserver-xorg-core and reinstalled it. But when I
now start X it says 'no screens found'..

Is there a way to get the AMD APUs off that generation working in Stretch
working again?

Or to at least start X again (with a very low resolution, assuming basic
hardware)?
