xorg-edgers PPA with llvmpipe breaks AMD APU system
- by linux_RRT
I've read before where this had happened to another user with the same system...
I was running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with Kernel 3.2.0.29 and decided to give xorg-edgers a try. I purged fglrx* and xorg* before beginning. I upgraded with
sudo apt-get upgrade -d
The system downloaded and installed 109MB worth of data to the system, including llvmpipe which I am very unfamiliar with, and Kernel 3.5.0.11.
The system was then rebooted to finalize the upgrade.
The system boots to a black screen and then tells me "The system is running in low-graphics mode".
Did I miss a step in the install? Or do the newest open-source drivers just not work with my hardware? I realize this hardware (APU) is some of the newer development. I dropped to command via the fallback menu and attempted to boot lightdm as root, but the system hangs in 'Configuring kernel parameters' at
Starting initializes zram swaping.
...and then it just sits there.
The other thing that concerns me is the output at the top of the screen that says:
could not write bytes: Broken pipe
Does llvmpipe work for this type of system?
To be clear the system is:
MSI x370-206us Laptop
Radeon HD 6320
AMD e450 APU 1.67ghz dual-core
Any help would be much appreciated. Like I said, I'm pretty sure I followed the right order of operations for the install procedure, but I was curious if anyone with similar hardware had experienced anything similar.
