Radeon 5450 OpenGL compatibiliy [closed]

By Mia Morrison

My question is related to this one: How to get AMD Radeon HD 5450 drivers on Ubuntu 16.04

My setup is working, though really not optimally; the display is SO slow with CAD software!

I am using Radeon HD5450 on Ubuntu 16.04 with the 'out of the box' driver, and I can't manage to improve it.

I think it has to do with the radeon driver, but I don't know how to adjust it.

One way could be to disable it and fold back on the onboard gfx card when working on CAD software (yes, it is that bad!)...

I have had to re upgrade, because I couldn't go back.

With the base components from 18.04, the radeon card is working again, and so is the CAD software.

So I can't explain why or how, but it seems the radeon open source driver is better in 18.04 than it was in 16.04.3.
