Cheers,
macmini 2011 with radeon card, installed 16.04 LTS from latest iso, UEFI supported, updated as of 24.05.2016 midnight, added codecs from Welcome link, added mate extras and ubuntu extras. Using default gfx drivers.
-
Had to use nomodeset even to boot instalation USB. When installed, had to put nomodeset in grub commands to avoid blank screen.
-
Mate compositor with hardware acceleration works, but Compton uses a lot of cpu/heat.
-
Chrome: youtube has sound, no video, chrome://gpu/ shows no acceleration card is recognised in all cases. Even disabling hardware acceleration in advanced settings doesn’t show video (this works for example in pure Debian Stable 8.4)
Frustrating thing is that I tried beta 16.04 and video worked then :-/
I remember some thing in the past about some gstreamer 0.1 libs that cause problems and should be removed, but not sure if it is the case here…
