I have a AMD RX460. I use Linux Mint 18 and Kernel 4.8 and Xubuntu 16.04 with Kernel 4.10.

In Linux Mint I have installed the private drivers of AMD for this card and in Xubuntu I use the Open Source Drivers (use

The problem is that the Open Source drivers don't use Opengl 4, only Opengl 3 and I think this card cans support the AMDGPU open drivers with Opengl 4 but I cannot activate them.

Can you help me to activate them?

  • If the proprietary drivers don't work yet with the 4.10 kernel there's nothing we can do but wait for AMD to provide updates. A newer version of the open source driver may or may not give support for OpenGL 4.x (which is a function of both the hardware and software (drivers)). –  Aug 21 '17 at 10:22
  • Hi, the propiertary driver Works with Opengl 4.5 and kernel 4.8. I ask if the open source drivers can Works with Opengl 4 in any way. – user258792 Aug 21 '17 at 10:46
  • You already know the answer: No, not yet anyway. –  Aug 21 '17 at 11:04
  • Hi; I updated Xubuntu 16.04 and uninstalled the AMDGPU-PRO, I don't know what changed in the Kernel 10 but the Open Source drivers (AMDGPU) are working with Opengl 4.5. I check with Metro 2033 and the game runs softly (30 stable FPS) but loads game is more slowly than AMDGPU-PRO.

    Linux Mint Sonya seems incompatible with Kernel 10 and I cannot use the new AMDGPU, cotinue using Kernel 4.8 and AMDGPU-PRO drivers.

  • Linux Mint 18.2 is compatible with 4.10 and even 4.11, open the Software Update tool, in the View menu go to Kernel and you can install 4.11 there. – Fla Sep 05 '17 at 08:58
