#HOW TO INSTALL ATI VIDEO DRIVER IN UBUNTU DRIVERS#

You may read online that older drivers are the best option but this is outdated information. You want to be on the latest version of Linux with the latest kernel. So now you can see how we can easily be led down the wrong path, are they installed or not?.

Type the command below and see for yourself, you will see the card is recognised and drivers have been loaded. The problem is all the guides are meant for users wanting to game on their system not mine Ethereum so thatвЂ™s where the first problem arises because you will see everywhere that the AMD drivers are already installed to the kernel, which they are BUT the part you need to mine is not there because AMD did not include the OpenCL drivers in the kernel driver. If you google вЂњhow to install AMD drivers on LinuxвЂќ you will inevitably get led down the wrong path and there is no clear and easy way out of that rabbit hole of disasters.

(bare with me and i promise in the end you will have a solution and an understanding why so you will never have problems with AMD drivers on Linux again) I have tried absolutely every way to install them and i almost always have problems. You install the drivers and you get either a black screen or the system will simply refuse to boot. Installing drivers on Linux can be an absolute disaster waiting to happen.
