Description
Hello,
Ever since upgrading from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04, and thus from Catalyst to radeon, opening windows / games with opengl in them is possible, BUT I have to resize the window in order to see anything.
I switch to the AMD card by using DRI_PRIME=1
.
A simple test is running glxgears
which renders a nice black window.
