Amd rv710 linux driver

Introduction

This guide shows you how to use the open source Radeon driver for some ATI/AMD graphics cards and APUs, which is part of the xserver-xorg-video-ati package.
This driver provides 2D and 3D acceleration in your video hardware. For the most recent releases of Ubuntu (and its flavours) this driver is usually as fast as the closed-source, proprietary fglrx driver (called AMD Catalyst) from AMD Inc. Furthermore the Radeon driver supports some older chipsets that fglrx does not.

The Radeon driver is already pre-installed in Ubuntu.

Identifying your graphics card or APU

First, check your graphic card name and chipset:

sudo update-pciids #optional command, requires internet

lspci -nn | grep -E 'VGA|Display'

It should report something like this for your graphics card and/or APU:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV710 [Radeon HD 4550]

If the report shows two different hardware devices, then you probably have a «hybrid graphics» system, with an iGP (integrated graphics processor inside the CPU) and a dedicated GPU.

Unsupported chips

• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and newer: for some most recent graphics cards (R9 285, R9 380/380X, R9 M395X, R9 Nano/Fury/FuryX, RX 460/470/480, RX 550/560/570/580. ) and APUs (Carrizo, Stoney), the open-source AMDGPU driver is enabled by default. For Ubuntu 16.04 LTS AMDGPU-Pro hybrid driver is also available to download here (please read the release notes for known problems and limitations).
• Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: if you have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Linux kernel 4.4.0 (HWE stack Xenial), you can’t install the proprietary fglrx/Catalyst driver. However the open source AMDGPU driver is available to install through the xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu package.

Supported, but hardware is too old for Unity

These cards will not run Ubuntu’s Unity desktop with 3D acceleration. They will still run Unity, but the CPU will be used for basic drawing and performance may suffer. If you have one of these cards, a lighter desktop (such as XFCE or LXDE, found in Xubuntu and Lubuntu respectively) is recommended.

Drivers for Radeon RV710 video card

I have it plugged into the computer, but that’s as far as I have gotten. I did plug in the monitor and no video came through. The old output for video, still is working. I have no clue on what to do next. Can anyone help?

Re: how do i install drivers and get a radeon RV710 video card to work

Are you able to get any video up at any point? If you are in the GUI open up «Additional Drivers» and from there it will scan and give you the option to install Radeon drivers.

If the GUI is not going well the go into the terminal and use this guide

Dark-Roasted but Half-Baked

Re: how do i install drivers and get a radeon RV710 video card to work

The RV710 (HD 4000 series, if I am not mistaken) is no longer supported under Linux by AMD/ATI.

The last Ubuntu version for which AMD/ATI provides support is 12.04.1. From 12.04.2 forward, the legacy driver that would otherwise work with it will not work with the version of X Server now used.

Do NOT attempt to install the proprietary driver. The default Radeon driver installed with Ubuntu is the only one that will work — if we can get it going.

Which version of Ubuntu are you using? Was the card in the machine when Ubuntu was installed? You mentioned the «old output for video». Is there another GPU in the machine? What OEM and model?

A thing discovered and kept to oneself must be discovered time and again by others. A thing discovered and shared with others need be discovered only the once.
This universe is crazy. I’m going back to my own.

Try this: navigate to settings->additional drivers->(wait for few sec)select your video card driver instead of nouveau driver

echo "deb https://linuxmint.com.ru/repo/xenial/ /" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list wget --quiet https://linuxmint.com.ru/repo/xenial/lmcomru-pubkey; sudo apt-key add lmcomru-pubkey apt update

apt install xserver-xorg-core=2:1.17.3-2ubuntu4 xserver-common=2:1.17.3-2ubuntu4 xserver-xorg-input-evdev=1:2.9.2-1ubuntu1 xserver-xorg-input-synaptics=1.8.2-1ubuntu2 xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse=1:13.1.0-1ubuntu1 xserver-xorg-input-wacom=1:0.32.0-0ubuntu2 xserver-xorg-video-intel=2:2.99.917+git20160218-1ubuntu2 xserver-xorg-video-radeon=1:7.6.1-1ubuntu1 lib32gcc1 libc6 libc6-dbg libc6-i386 

3. Установка драйвера производится на соответсвующую версию ядра из LTS-ветки ( uname -r ):

Для ядра 4.4

apt install fglrx fglrx-dev fglrx-core fglrx-amdcccle

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test apt update apt install gcc-6 sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-6 /usr/bin/gcc-6.3 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test apt update apt install gcc-7 sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-7 /usr/bin/gcc-7.2 

4. обновление конфигурации и фиксация версии xorg

sudo aticonfig --initial sudo apt hold xserver-xorg-core xserver-common fglrx-core

export COGL_DRIVER=gl export COGL_OVERRIDE_GL_VERSION=1.4 export COGL_RENDERER=GLX

Иначе вместо радостей прилетит черный экран.

5. на уровне grub блеклистим свободные драйвера:
открываем /etc/default/grub и строку GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT приводим к следующему виду

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet modprobe.blacklist=radeon modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu"

Сохраняем изменения, и обновляем grub с sudo update-grub

Финал
Перезагружаем систему и радуемся драйверу:

Итак, основные проблемы с установкой драйвера исходят из отсутствия поддержки новой версии Xorg и свежих ядер. В обход первой проблемы — установим крайнюю совместимую с драйвером версию Xorg, для совместимости с ядром будем применять патчи.

sudo apt purge xserver-xorg xserver-common xserver-xorg-core

3. Устанавливаем скачанные пакеты на замену удаленным, переходим в папку куда они загружались и устанавливаем коммандой:

4. Затем, для проверки успешности изменений — перезагружаемся. И если все завелось нормально — продолжаем установку.
Если же что-то пошло не так — откатываем изменения и прекращаем установку описав тут ошибки:

sudo apt purge xserver-xorg xserver-common xserver-xorg-core sudo apt install xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-intel

sudo apt hold xserver-xorg-core xserver-common

sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs dh-make dkms execstack dh-modaliases libqtgui4 xserver-xorg-dev lib32gcc1

7. Следующей последовательностью команд скачаем драйвер, распакуем и применим патчи для работы на нашей системе:

mkdir amd-15.12 && cd amd-15.12 wget --referer='http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux+x86_64' http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/radeon-crimson-15.12-15.302-151217a-297685e.zip unzip radeon-crimson-15.12-15.302-151217a-297685e.zip cd fglrx-15.302 wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/catalyst-test.tar.gz chmod a+x catalyst-test.tar.gz tar -xvf catalyst-test.tar.gz chmod +x amd-driver-installer-15.302-x86.x86_64.run ./amd-driver-installer-15.302-x86.x86_64.run --extract ./drv cd drv/ patch -Np1 --verbose < ../catalyst-test/arch-fglrx-authatieventsd_new.patch patch -Np1 --verbose < ../catalyst-test/lano1106_fglrx_intel_iommu.patch patch -Np1 --verbose < ../catalyst-test/lano1106_kcl_agp_13_4.patch patch -Np1 --verbose < ../catalyst-test/makefile_compat.patch patch -Np1 --verbose < ../catalyst-test/4.3-gentoo-mtrr.patch patch -Np1 --verbose < ../catalyst-test/4.3-kolasa-seq_printf.patch patch -Np1 --verbose < ../catalyst-test/crimson_i686_xg.patch patch -Np1 --verbose < ../catalyst-test/fglrx_gpl_symbol.patch patch -Np1 --verbose < ../catalyst-test/4.4-manjaro-xstate.patch

8. Далее в исходных инструкциях значилась сборка деб-пакета, но у меня ни разу в Sarah не получилось собрать его для Xenial, поэтому устанавливаем напрямую из исходников:

sudo ./ati-installer.sh 15.302 --install
