I have given the information of the graphics driver in Debian 7, for the Acer laptop with the AMD Radeon R2 graphics adaptor. Unfortunately, shortly after my last previous email message was posted about the issues relating to Debian 7, the laptop computer suffered a hardware failure, and I now have to make a warranty claim and take it to be repaired (a bit like the other Acer computer, and, both were running Debian 7, as the last operating system, before the hardware crashes. So, I can not find the driver for Ubuntu, for the system with the Radeon R2 graphics adaptor, unless and until that computer is repaired and operational again. In this latest instance, I happened to see text on the screen, at the time of the hardware crash - I saw two lines of text at the top of the then black screen; the upper line included "pnp bus"; that was all that I could read, before the screen went blank, and the system is, for the present, dead. I tried to rtemove the battery, to try to replicate the repair that the hardware people did on the V3-772G system, when that had its hardware crash, but, I am unable to remove the battery. So, I will now have to take the computer to the hardware people, and find whether they can repair it. When I took the Acer V3-772G to the hardware place, it was a two week wait, before they could examine it, and, in that case, they repaired it, on the day that they examined it, so, I expect that I could be similarly waiting at least another two weeks, before this one can be examined, after I have booked it in for repair. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
