<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I have an 7 year old laptop with amd graphic and Intel i5 3rd gen cpu. It doesn't have an Intel integrated graphics. I am dual booting this device with windows 8.1 and arch Linux. Yesterday the screen started to flicker and cause a white screen after the GPU service started to running(systemd log during boot ) during the boot. Faced the same GPU issue windows 8.1 also. I somehow managed to safeboot the device and completely uninstall the AMD Radeon graphics drivers. Now I can able to boot in to windows without screen flicker issues. It is now using some Microsoft basic display adapter driver. Don't have GPU acceleration or brightness control which normal since I have disabled the damaged GPU. </p> <p>Now I am looking for a similar setup in arch Linux . I want to boot into arch with a disabled GPU. I am running arch linux with gnome de. I tried it with "nomodeset" and "radeon.modeset=0" kernel parameters but with no luck. I can't still able to boot in to gdm. I could able access a tty via short keys. Is it possible disable the GPU and boot into arch ? Sorry for my bad english.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/NiyasTk"> /u/NiyasTk </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/r85dok/completely_disable_amdati_radeon_gpu/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/r85dok/completely_disable_amdati_radeon_gpu/">[comments]</a></span> |
