    See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD . What is wrong with the open source driver ? – Panther Sep 25 '17 at 17:57

  • I don't have any problem installing open source driver. Does `radeon` supports my graphic card? `man radeon` doesn't display `R5 M230` in supported list. – NayabSD Sep 25 '17 at 18:51
  • It is supported by one of the open source drivers. It doiesn't matter which one. –  Sep 25 '17 at 23:23
  • `sudo apt dist-upgrade` installed the driver `radeon`. Thanks for the comments. – NayabSD Sep 26 '17 at 05:12

The open-source driver for AMD Radeon graphics adapters is already installed together with Ubuntu. You don't need to do anything.
