This results in the wrong detection of drivers. The result is a wrongly installed driver and very poor performance. This bug has been affecting me since Ubuntu 16.10, and still affects me in Ubuntu 17.10. brad@brad-ubuntu:~$ lspci | grep 'VGA compatible controller' 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Venus LE [Radeon HD 8830M] (rev 87) brad@brad-ubuntu:~$ lsmod | grep -i 'radeon' radeon 1470464 9 i2c_algo_bit 16384 2 amdgpu,radeon ttm 94208 2 amdgpu,radeon drm_kms_helper 167936 2 amdgpu,radeon drm 356352 9 amdgpu,radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper brad@brad-ubuntu:~$ lsmod | grep -i 'amdgpu' amdgpu 2007040 0 i2c_algo_bit 16384 2 amdgpu,radeon ttm 94208 2 amdgpu,radeon drm_kms_helper 167936 2 amdgpu,radeon drm 356352 9 amdgpu,radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper Ubuntu installs by autodetection: xserver-xorg-video-ati. The proper driver is, xserver-xorg-video-radeon. However even after proper installation of the new driver. Ubuntu still reports that I am using a mobile graphics card, instead of a desktop graphics card. Ubuntu reports: llvmpipe (LLVM 5.0, 128 bits) with the radeon driver. And CAPE VERDE with the ati driver. Its a "OLAND" or "southern island" card. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistUpgraded: 2017-10-21 23:44:08,256 DEBUG icon theme changed, re-reading DistroCodename: artful DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 DistroVariant: ubuntu InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-08-23 (71 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Release amd64 (20170412) MachineType: MSI MS-7721 Package: xorg 1:7.7+19ubuntu3 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.13.0-16-generic.efi.signed root=UUID=d9298166-bfea-422f-990f-71ef38407fa5 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-16.19-generic 4.13.4 Tags: artful ubuntu Uname: Linux 4.13.0-16-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to artful on 2017-10-22 (11 days ago) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 08/10/2016 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: V8.4 dmi.board.asset.tag: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.board.name: A68HM-E33 V2 (MS-7721) dmi.board.vendor: MSI dmi.board.version: 9.0 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: MSI dmi.chassis.version: 9.0 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvrV8.4:bd08/10/2016:svnMSI:pnMS-7721:pvr9.0:rvnMSI:rnA68HM-E33V2(MS-7721):rvr9.0:cvnMSI:ct3:cvr9.0: dmi.product.family: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.product.name: MS-7721 dmi.product.version: 9.0 dmi.sys.vendor: MSI version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.13.1+17.10.20170901-0ubuntu1 version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.83-1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 17.2.2-0ubuntu1 version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 17.2.2-0ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.19.5-0ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev N/A version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati N/A version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel N/A version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau N/A To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1729377/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
