#1 AMD HD 5770 / Ubuntu 19.04
Posted: Wed Sep 04, 2019 1:38 pm
So I've finally resurrected my "trash project" from the garage (i3-2100, 8 GB memory, Radeon HD 5770) using Ubuntu 19.04 and have it running in my office. Woo!
I've never been a Linux user except for a few Java coding courses back in college, so I'm a bit clueless about how to (a) check to make sure I am using the right drivers and have the hardware optimized and (b) what projects to run on the system.
I'm running hardinfo and I'm a bit suspect that the HD 5770 is recognized properly by the system. Under the graphics, it shows as 1920x1080 (Unknown) The X.Org Foundation. However, when I look at the PCI Device list, I see
the VGA compatible controller for AMD Juniper XT [Radeon HD 5770] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]).
So the million dollar question... How do I make sure the graphics card is setup and running properly in Linux?
Any insight would be much appreciated.
