Thread: amd hd 4570


can tell me,the reason, why legacy drivers doesn't work in ubuntu?
need reason,not help.i using open source driver on amd hd 4570 , know alternative in case want gaming,which don't prefer w7 that.
im curious why legacy drivers don't work on ubuntu , work on windows.(since designed legacy cards)

if take @ bottom of legacy driver page here can see states requirements xorg server version 1.12 , kernel version 3.4.

latest versions of ubuntu (12.04.2 , 12.10) both have xorg version 1.13 , later kernel, legacy driver isn't compatible them.
isn't ubuntu issue, modern linux os uses latest versions of xorg , kernel won't work legacy driver.

trivial amd rebuild driver against latest versions of xorg , kernel work, however, have decided not this.
