Still missing graphics driver for AMD Sempron 3850 APU?

[Northbane]

Re: Graphics driver for AMD Sempron 3850?

Two years ago I started a thread for missing graphics driver for my AMD Sempron 3850 APU, tried it yesterday with Recalbox Dragonblaze 6.1.1 and I still have issues with the GUI being incredibly slow, so I guess those drivers are still missing? Can this be remedied as I'd like to use Recalbox for my setup but can't at the moment due to this?

Thank you in advance!

Hello
recalbox is not compatible with amd.

@acris
Ain't that wierd? Since your dev said two years ago devs were working on GPU drivers for that APU?
So you don't support any AMD CPUs/APUs or GPUs? Should that be the case, you should definitely make users aware that you're not supporting AMD (which is a bit odd since AMD is becoming more and more popular these days)...

hello @northbane, I suggest you test this version:
https://www.fromsmash.com/recalbox_amdcatalyst
which integrates the amd-catalyst driver.
thank you for making your return on the following post:

@strodown Thank you, that sounds like exactly what I need!

@strodown tried on a 16GB USB stick, but still incredibly slow, could be the USB stick, but it was like this before too (even with an SSD). ES says Recalbox V.

It seems to find "radeon" in var/messages logs, 512MB VRAM to 2048MB VRAM if I interpret it correctly.
