No, just install -ati and provide xorg log and glxinfo dump, otherwise I've no way to point anything wrong.
Besides, AMD reuses pci id's on several marketing names. For instance the database on libdrm shows "682B, 87, AMD Radeon (TM) R9 M360". And the output has nothing to do with performance, it should still work just the same regardless of what some string somewhere says. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1729377 Title: AMD r7 250 wrong detection Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: New Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: My AMD R7 250 GPU is being wrongly detected in Ubuntu as a Radeon HD 8830M. This results in the wrong detection of drivers. The result is a wrongly installed driver and very poor performance.

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/mesa/+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
