Thread: Radeon HD 6790


i installed radeon hd 6790. before that, using on board card, , before that, had radeon 6770 in there. still had proprietary driver installed.

when started computer new card, command lspci showed had "radeon hd 6700 series" card. thought not sufficiently specific , driver not recognising new card properly, deinstalled proprietary driver aim of reinstalling after reboot. alas, after reboot, ubuntu not boot @ all, not in recovery mode. computer crashed in course of booting , monitor lose signal.

took out new card again (actually, detached power supply, left in slot), started on board card, installed proprietary driver again, shutdown, attached hd 6790 again, , started up. now, can again boot ubuntu, , lspci command again returns "radeon hd 6700 series".

question 1: correct output or mean card not being recognised?

question 2: haven't heard or read anywhere ubuntu cannot handle card without proprietary driver. couldn't boot live cd card either. how people install ubuntu card in first place? explain behaviour me?

Thread: Can not create raid array: mdadm: no raid-devices specified.
