But I insisted on the installation of the proprietary AMD/ATI driver because, if compared with the generic Xorg driver for AMD/ATI GPU devices (module amdgpu), the proprietary driver ( fglrx) improves performance, also improves video acceleration support (works neat with xvba-va, which is the XvBA Video Acceleration driver), and it also lowers the temperature of your AMD/ATI GPU. You can execute uname -r in order to find out which is your system's kernel version and uname -i in order to find out if your OS (Operating System) is 32-bit or 64-bit.Īfter the installation of the proprietary AMD/ATI graphics driver and system reboot, the xserver (Xorg server) crashed and didn't initialize anymore. My computer's operating system is the 64-bit Linux XUbuntu 14.04.4 (kernel 4.2.0-35-generic). The AMD/ATI GPU has bigger power consumption but much better graphics performance. The Intel GPU saves power consumption / increases battery life, but has poor graphics performance. My computer is a Dell Inspiron 5548 laptop with hybrid graphics, I mean, it has two GPU (Graphics Processing Units): a VGA compatible controller Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5500 and a display controller AMD/ATI Topaz XT. Here's a simple shell command that anyone can execute in order to find out which graphics card(s) is/are present on the computer: lspci |egrep -i 'vga|display'

There is bumblebee for nvidia/intel setups, but for AMD/Intel systems you just get the intel graphics.īeyond that, we can only hope for better drivers to come from AMD. Unfortunately, I am not a very big advocate of AMD for this very reason since it performs poorly on Linux.Īs for Hybrid, it wont happen on Linux. Other than that, there are a number of proprietary packages you can try for the AMD graphics. It should run out of the box with the latest versions of Ubuntu. See if you can temporarily disable your AMD graphics (perhaps from UEFI settings/Bios?) and boot with intel enabled only. Intel, out of all the companies do they best job in supporting linux.

That said, your intel graphics should work just fine. It use to be nvidia, but they appear to have improved. The performance in Windows compared to Linux is pathetic. I had issues myself with the AMD drivers, decided I would never again go with AMD again for Linux. Simply put, AMD drivers are rubbish anyway. Then put it in /usr/local/bin and run radeon.sh steam or radeon.sh warsow to play using the radeon card Xrandr -setprovideroffloadsink radeon Intel I use this small script, named radeon.sh: #!/bin/bash

Please note that some window managers disable compositing when applications run full screen.

Check your window manager or install and start xcompmgr before starting the application (you can kill it after if you want). If not, then it may be because you don't have "compositing" enabled. If you get an "empty" window, first try if this gets resolved by resizing it. Examples: $ DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep -i openglĬompare with $ DRI_PRIME=0 glxgears -info Without this variable, apps will use intel, so make sure your 3D appsĪre really using this variable. I suspect the case is important, but never testedĪfter this config, if you setup the DRI_PRIME=1 environment variable, new applications started on that terminal will use the AMD card instead of the intel.

Newer versions can also do this: $ xrandr -setprovideroffloadsink radeon Intel $ xrandr -setprovideroffloadsink 0x53 0x79 Provider 1: id: 0x53 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 0 associated providers: 0 name:radeon Provider 0: id: 0x79 cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 4 associated providers: 0 name:Intel

If possible, update the distro or use oibaf PPA. The quick howto is to update the drivers and kernel, the more recent the better. For mesa, This is the best documentation right now in the web.
