Comment 38 for bug 1900777

Hi Daniel, the driver that I have with ubuntu's support (the one that is downloaded automatically) is giving me some problems. No freezes yet (it's been around 6 hours).

The first problem is that the display does not seem to be claimed.

blaise@blaise-VivoBook2:~$ sudo lshw -c video
[sudo] password for blaise:
  *-display UNCLAIMED
       description: VGA compatible controller
       product: Renoir
       vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
       physical id: 0
       bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0
       version: c2
       width: 64 bits
       clock: 33MHz
       capabilities: pm pciexpress msi msix vga_controller bus_master cap_list
       configuration: latency=0
       resources: memory:d0000000-dfffffff memory:e0000000-e01fffff ioport:e000(size=256) memory:fe700000-fe77ffff

This I believe leads to the following problems in which the night light does not work. (when I had the driver installed from the amd website it did work). And similarly, I cannot attach an HDMI external monitor to my computer anymore, where previously with the other driver I could.

Please let me know what steps I can take to resolve these issues. I have gone through the internet and many suggestions just tell me to install the driver from the amd site. but I do not want something that Ubuntu does not support or freezes on me. Thanks. Blaise
