fglrx driver on 7020 (Z50Q) with Radeon HD 8400E Chipset

Hi,

I tried to install the proprietary fglrx-Driver on my Z50Q running "Ubuntu mate 16.04".

The installation works fine but after a reboot I got no graphic output. The screen is always black :(

Here is the xorg.log:

Today, I have installed Debian 8.6 on my Wyse Z50Q. With Debian fglrx (v 15.302.1101) works, but the bad news is that the performance is bad :emotion-7:

Text scrolling in Chrome or Firefox Browser generates "stairway artefacts". The free Radeon Driver does this much better.


3D is not tested because I will not need it.


Does anybody know why the proprietary Drivers performes so bad? I have installed this version:

http://support.amd.com/de-de/download

Step 1: Embedded Graphics

Step 2: Radeon Embedded

Step 3: G-Series SOC 1st Gen former codename "eKabini"

Step 4: Linux x86_64


The result:

http://support.amd.com/de-de/download/embedded?os=Linux%20x86_64

In my opinion this should be the correct driver :emotion-40:

Or not?
