Linux is freezing on Asus A53T


Hello,
recently I got this laptop and decided to install Ubuntu on it instead of Linux Mint.
When I reboot the screen is all fuzzy, and I cannot watch any videos.
What's wrong?

Hi henderson,

We will probably need more information to better assist you.

Some quick research reveals, however, that the computer you are using seems to have a Radeon dual-GPU setup.

... from a laptop review site :

Quote:
The A53T's switchable graphics allow it to toggle on between the integrated AMD Radeon HD 6520G GPU and the performance-enhancing Radeon HD 6650M GPU with 1GB of VRAM.
My guess is that your problem is likely caused by a missing display driver. I suggest you begin your troubleshooting there.

Cheers,

Thank you for your reply.
I have since installed Linux Mint again and all is fine.
Their forums also agree with me better.
