Salut Harald,
i am not trolling. I am a professional Fedora user an decided to
give AMD a chance. I am using a Venus LE [Radeon HD 8830M]
with two attached DP monitors that ran out of the box.
you are trolling - the guy *already has installed the drivers matching
the hardware* and switch at that point may introduce more problems than
it solves
Yes i also noticed a problem that forced me not to update the
kernel for a month, but a put a indicent and got that issue fixed.
which is the exactly opposite of "forget about to think about which
driver to install" and " all is fine with AMD" - when i can't upgrade
the kernel for a month on a distribution like Fedora i take the hardware
and throw it out of the window (that said from a Fedora user for longer
than a decade on workstations and servers using Intel graphis which is
*really* supported out-of-the-.box and vene there you may have problems
with the latest generation)
I is nice to have a card, that is supported out of the box. I am not
willing to promise you a problem free switch, but up to know this
combination looks more stable to me.
i see above...
