Changing to open source driver - Radeon hd 4250
« on: August 11, 2012, 08:40:49 AM »
Hello, I changed from fglrx to open source driver via PcLos Control Center and rebooted. Everything is fine but when I check lsmod it doesn't list the 'radeon' driver, and doing glxinfo | grep rendering gives me "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig". How do I solve this?
It seems lspci -vvv still shows fglrx, even though I answered no to proprietary drivers. What can I do?
