AMD Radeon 8670m drivers wont work on kali linux


Hello i have a problem with my drivers i have a laptop dell inspiron 3537 with AMD Radeon HD 8670M and intel 4400 when i start kali sometimes i get blackscreen and after restart most of time blackscreen fixed but always after a restart is the danger of blackscreen when i dont get blackscreen kali open with intel 4400 i tried alot of tutorials guides etc. tried everything (amd official site, forums, blogs, hybrid card graphic drivers) i found by searching in google and still cant fix it when i install amd drivers kali wont boot into GUI permamently blackscreen. any advice or any help?

When linux start i get a blackscreen with a underscore top left then press alt + f2 and here is what i get. http://imgur.com/5e6ofTa

A simple solution
use Nvidia

use a different laptop for kali
most of the tools are CUDA enabled

use a computer with a NVIDIA card

the FIRST step is this

earn a 6 year computer science degree
majoring in network SECURITY
once you do have your masters diploma
contact "Offensive security "( the people that put together Kali )
http://www.offensive-security.com/
about testing for their training
-- the test is a KILLER

you WILL need a masters degree to pass it
