Window showing list of available ATI (AMD) drivers (Not mine btw but the only example I have!): Open > Control Center > System > Software & Updates > Additional Drivers and wait until the page loads: The following is for Nvidia and AMD (ATI) graphics card owners.

Is it because I am using newer kernels? Previously I could be able to see AMD propertiary drivers, and install it if I wanted, which I once did for testing, and then returned to Intel graphics.

What should I do?Īnother issue is that I no longer see propertiary drivers in 'additional drivers' section of the 'software and updates' utility. So, I want to use graphics drivers provided by Intel, but unfortuanately there is no prebuilt packages for 16.04 in 01.org repositories.

But, now I have several issues with video acceleration, including the inability to scale the video. Video acceleration worked just fine in VLC in 14.04. I was prviously on Ubuntu 14.04, using Intel graphics driver in Ubuntu 16.04, installed from here: I have a dual Intel 6th gen./AMD Radeon HD graphics, and I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
