I have a HP Probook laptop with an AMD A10 APU 9874 c5 with Radeon R6 Graphics.
My display is NOT working correctly. I have to boot with nomodeset, otherwise I boot to a blank screen. Resolution is low, does not wake from sleep or hibernation and no dual monitor working.
I am so confused by my research. I've discovered that some AMD graphic cards are no longer supported by AMD or recent kernels. I don't know much about graphic cards, so does this apply to my card or not? If so, does this mean I'm screwed with ever getting this laptop working correctly with a recent kernel?
Card info.
