I have googled and searched and i want to move back to windows (as this setup works FLAWLESSLY with windows 10, sigh)

I have an MSI A68HI-AC mb with A10-something CPU, 12GB ram, a shiney gigabte RX 460 2gb gfx card and much much pain.

1 week trying to get hardware graphics on this on Linux, I've re-installed more than 10 times with Kubuntu, mint and ubuntu.

Currently i have ubuntu 14.04.1 and updated the kernel to 4.9.
This is the MOST i have advanced and its still working, the other distros all crashed X / Xorg / grafics anything at this point. And yes, i even tried 17.3, 14.4 and flicking up and down kernels with each distro.
I'm serious when I said I have tried a LOT of alternate "fixes".

kernel 4.9
It apparently has improved support for ATI/AMD GPUs. apparently.
i cant copy and paste stuff from the Linux box as I am writing this from my working windows 8.1 laptop.

welcome to the community.

I was going to suggest triple-checking that the graphics card has power. However, you mentioned that the setup works with Windows 10. That indicates to me that the hardware inside the box is set up in a good way.

It is possible that you do not have the driver installed for your graphics card.

• Low-hanging fruit: Main menu, Additional Drivers. See if your card shows up there.




• Ubuntu has some wiki documentation on installing AMD drivers.




• Finally, you might be able to install the driver manually. This would simply consist of downloading a zipped archive, unzipping, and placing in the correct folder (perhaps using sudo access).

I'm sorry to hear about your struggle, though I will admit, I am impressed by your persistence. You definitely have been putting in the blood sweat and tears - good luck!
