Hi,

Which proprietary AMD display driver will be in the 15.04 release?
(I have an AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB GDDR5 PCIexpress video card)

Thanks, looking forward to the April 23 release!

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

Is the proprietary AMD display driver in Kubuntu 15.04 the current Omega (14.12) driver on the AMD website?
I ask because I had problems with the 14.12 AMD driver on a desktop with Kubuntu 14.04.

Thanks!

Well...

As it is proprietary so we can't be sure if it is renumbered 14.12 but I think that the Omega / 14.12 is same as 14.501 - http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...yst_1412&num=1
