Can't get my Debian laptop to use my Radeon 520 Mobile graphics card
Hello everyone,
my laptop has two graphic devices. According to my hardware probe it
does not utilize the actual graphic card or at least something seems
wrong with it. I tried installing additional driver packages:
xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu mesa-va-drivers but it did not change
anything it seems. From other probes I see linux does support it on
other laptops. I wonder what am I missing?
