I was using the closed fglrx (a.k.a. Crimson 15.12) on Kubuntu 15.10 (the latest updates from the regular repository - not the ones form the various PPA's) and that worked fine for me. For 16.04 Wily, the kernel packages from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v4.6-rc6-wily have newer open source AMDgpu kernel drivers and those seem to work fine on the A10-8700P. Give that Kernel (or the newer RC7 one) a shot.
Just a note for Jakedp (it's another unrelated bug and really doesn't apply to this bug - so this can be ignored so far as the AMDgpu bug report) - If we have the same laptop (and I believe we do), you'll also have the same Realtek RTL8723BE Wireless adapter - there's another bug that might affect you regarding that driver's antenna selection... The fix is projected to be included in the Kernel 4.7 by the developer. I was hoping it might have got backported into the 4.6 release candidates - but it hasn't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577074 Title: AMDGPU driver problems on "Carrizo" APU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu/+bug/1577074/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
