Thanks Simon, the thing is that Catalyst support was dropped after Leap 42.1. With 42.2 and 42.3 the only option is the opensource driver. Regards, CI.- 2017-07-27 15:20 GMT-04:00 Simon Heimbach :

Hi,

I had an E450 with the HD6320 graphics three years back. Basically the same chip just slightly better binned.

I was impressed by the performance of this little chip. Never had any serious problems.

I haven't used HDMI-audio, though. Heard it's not working with the opensource drivers. But Catalyst should help you there. It's worth a try!

Hi!,

Does anybody have experience using HD 6310 GPUs with newer kernels?, I have and old E350M1/USB3 motherboard that would like to turn into a kodi appliance. I've seen a lot of bad reports regarding radeon opensource driver performance, has this been improved in newer kernels?.

Also, HDMI audio seems to be hit or miss. Would love to have some feedback on this.

Regards,

That's why I will never buy an ATI video card again (or laptop with an ATI card). They just "drop" all support for older products, users be damned.

Been though several iterations of this -- the first in Aug. 09 when all fglrx support for everything less that the 2600 series cards was just dropped.

Every nvidia card is still supported.

Not by the newest drivers though.

E.g. some nVidia cards require a maximum driver version of something like 325. It's true that those drivers are still available, but when I tried using one things started crashing (this was a Cinnamon experience). Probably more of a Cinnamon thing though, but you get the point.

I built this computer on 2009. It has an nvidia card and it is still supported. However, some say that the ATI/AMD drivers got opened and that there is better support from open drivers :-? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Sorry for any confusion, that was not my point. Just for clarification: - I thought the old catalyst/fglrx-driver is still available for the old chips even though not maintained. But it seems as if they won't compile against newer kernels. - I know that the new amdgpu driver is only for modern cards. - *But* I also know that amd is pushing the opensource drivers radeon/amdgpu and those are in an actually pretty good state. The old fglrx driver is partly even performing worse than the opensource equivalent. So I wouldn't call this "dropping support". Btw, the RV620/630 (aka HD2600) should be supported too. I always buy amd cards as I never had any major compliant with the drivers. I cannot say this with nvidia or intel. So btt: As newer Mesa/XOrg should also support HDMI-audio, I would simply try it out, if I had an HD6310/6320. Chances are high that everything works perfectly out out of the box.
