[Bug 1617849] Re: latest system update broke fglrx video drivers, so no more 3d video acceleration
I'm afraid I cannot include the output requested, because I have since replaced the 14.04 LTS installation that this bug affected with a 16.04 LTS install. I had been under the mistaken understanding that Catalyst drivers / fglrx were necessary for my use case, which is why I had installed 14.04 LTS. I have since learned that the Mesa 10.1 version in the 14.04 LTS release is is about 2 years old, and the OpenGL drivers were not quite usable. However the OpenGL driver version in 16.04 LTS, which I have since installed, is perfectly suitable for my use case, and appears to outperform fglrx. I suspect that the 14.04 LTS upgrade that deprecated fglrx was related to fglrx's incompatibility with an X and/or kernel update. While 14.04's OpenGL drivers are not suitable for my video card, those in 16.04 more than suffice. In other words, the fix to this 'bug' seemed to be to update/upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1617849 Title: latest system update broke fglrx video drivers, so no more 3d video acceleration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1617849/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Could you include the output of "dpkg -l | grep ii.*-lts-"?
