I didn't know that Ubuntu was using AMDGPU by default and I've installed fglrx. It's already removed now.

I want to reactivate AMDGPU, how can I do that?

lspci -nn | grep VGA

Graphics Card

lsmod | grep amd

AMDGPU

  • You can give this a shot, although I don't think it fits your question exactly: http://askubuntu.com/questions/761091/ati-intel-hybrid-graphics-16-04-lts. – musicman1979 May 12 '16 at 13:25
  • just check if this not already in use. http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/41817/linux-how-to-find-the-device-driver-used-for-a-device/336427#336427 – mlibre Jan 10 '17 at 21:32
  • and also check that what driver is in use? `sudo lspci -v` – mlibre Jan 10 '17 at 21:33
  • and then try this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMDGPU#Configuration – mlibre Jan 10 '17 at 21:38

If your graphics card is supported you may wish to consider AMDGPU-PRO. You can find the latest 16.60 version of the driver here [link] (http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Driver-for-Linux-Release-Notes.aspx)

The opensource amdgpu driver is for GCN+ class hardware only. Your GPU is a VLIW-based HD 5000 series that works with the radeon driver out of the box, and is NOT supported by the amdgpu driver.
