[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1568449] [NEW] [Toshiba Satellite S55-C5247] ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad not working

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1568429] [NEW] Radeon won't work with KMS enabled
Public bug reported: I have a Radeon HD 5770 GPU. After upgrading to Xenial today and ensuring the xorg radeon driver was enabled, my machine will no longer boot to a usable state. After selecting default Ubuntu option from GRUB menu, both monitor lose signal input and the keyboard becomes unresponsive. Sometimes the machine will reboot on its own, most of the time I have to hard reset. If I add `nomodeset` or `radeon.modeset=0` to kernel line in GRUB, the machine will boot but the radeon driver will not load. Attempting to load radeon driver with `sudo modprobe radeon modeset=1` after booting with modesetting off results in the same fail state explained above.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1562387] Re: digimend / wacom drivers do not recognize chinese clone
Jason, The edits on 10-evdev.conf are not unnecessary. If general-purpose drivers are loaded before the huion drivers, the huion drivers are not loaded. The catch-all rule in 10-evdev.conf prevents the correct drivers from being loaded. I'll see if I file a bug report in linuxwacom to see if they can integrate the huion entries.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1568233] [NEW] BOINC doesn't recognize AMD/ATI GPU in 16.04 despite sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart
Public bug reported: Back on 14.04 and also 12.04, all you had to do to get BOINC to use the GPU(s), was to install AMD's proprietary fglrx driver, and then type in terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart You had to type that like every time you (re)started Ubuntu for BOINC to recognize your graphics card, but it worked to fix the GPU recognition with AMD cards (not sure about Nvidia cards though, since I don't have any). Now however, in 16.04, AMD's Catalyst drivers have been deprecated, and while the switch to AMD's improved open source GPU drivers is a good move, for some reason, this command line no longer works to recognize AMD graphics cards. And since we can no longer install fglrx/Catalyst on Xenial, I hope AMD's work on their open source drivers gets a BOINC optimization ASAP. ** Affects: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd ati boinc drivers gpu xenial ** Description changed: Back on 14.04 and also 12.04, all you had to do to get BOINC to use the GPU(s), was to install AMD's proprietary fglrx driver, and then type in terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart You had to type that like every time you (re)started Ubuntu for BOINC to recognize your graphics card, but it worked to fix the GPU recognition with AMD cards (not sure about Nvidia cards though, since I don't have any).

And since we can no longer + install Catalyst on Xenial, I hope AMD's work on their open source + drivers gets a BOINC optimization ASAP. ** Description changed: Back on 14.04 and also 12.04, all you had to do to get BOINC to use the GPU(s), was to install AMD's proprietary fglrx driver, and then type in terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart You had to type that like every time you (re)started Ubuntu for BOINC to recognize your graphics card, but it worked to fix the GPU recognition with AMD cards (not sure about Nvidia cards though, since I don't have any). Now however, in 16.04, AMD's Catalyst drivers have been deprecated, and while the switch to AMD's improved open source GPU drivers is a good move, for some reason, this command line no longer works to recognize AMD graphics cards. And since we can no longer - install Catalyst on Xenial, I hope AMD's work on their open source + install fglrx/Catalyst on Xenial, I hope AMD's work on their open source drivers gets a BOINC optimization ASAP. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568233 Title: BOINC doesn't recognize AMD/ATI GPU in 16.04 despite sudo /etc/init.d /boinc-client restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1568233/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
