My laptop has Dual GPU integrated.
- Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller
- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Seymour [Radeon HD 6400M/7400M Series]
Now, while testing Ubuntu 16.04 using Live USB, I could not confirm as if the AMDGPU was installed or not, or even either supported or not.
Does AMDGPU supports the Radeon HD 6400M/7400M Series on Ubuntu 16.04, or not, or not yet?
- If does support, how can I verify or install the AMDGPU (as I read, it should be auto installed, isn't it?)? (please don't confuse the Live USB scenario, that was just for checking, due to the news about amdgpu and ubuntu 16.04. i am asking for the actual full/hard install into the device, here in case my laptop)
- If does not support, can I hope for it to be supported?
- If not yet supported, can I hope for it to be supported?
- If will not be supported, well that's a misery, I guess!
I have looked into the RadeonDriver page from Ubuntu, but could not locate my GPU neither as supported nor unsupported.

This adapter is not supported by
amdgpu
. It is supported byradeon
as you see in the output.It is extremely unlikely that older GPUs will be ever supported by
amdgpu
.radeon
driver will be supported and I do not see what is the problem.
