Hi bw123. Thank you again for your help and time.
Firstly, firmware version 20161130-3 is installed (if that is a date in the firmware version, is it ~2 years too old?)
Code: Select all
root@uni:~# apt install firmware-amd-graphics

Also, as per the AtiHowTo wiki, firmware-linux-nonfree, libg1-mesa-dri and xserver-xorg-video-ati are all installed.
dmesg results:
One question I had, is the UUID below that I edited out a unique identifier to the hard drive (like a serial number) or does it change with each format?
