  • AMD dropped legacy support for older chips on Linux, there is nothing you can do,I am sorry to say.

  • so, there is support for HD 2000-7000 but not for 8000 ? And can i go back to 15.04 or any older one? Or if i want to use HD i have to go back to Windows ?

  • There is not support for any of them I don't think, you can of course wait for an answer, but I faced this issue with a 7000, I could choose it on the site but the installer says it is not a supported version, there was no solution.

  • You could always see what the Additional Drivers app pulls up, but if what @markkirby says is true, it might not work.

  • Although, @markkirby, if that card is the Radeon HD 8000, it's pretty new (2013).

I'm using this driver on Mint 17.3 with a Radeon HD 7450, so I don't think it's the device but rather the version of Ubuntu and AMD not updating their workspace often enough.

fglrxinfo:

display: :0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 7400 Series OpenGL version string: 4.5.13416 Compatibility Profile Context 15.302

That said, kernel support only seems to go as far as around 4.2, and anything higher requires patching
