Hello there fellow Linux users and Deepin developers,

I am having some trouble getting OS to work with AMD card.

After I install everything works fine, except in native resolution. When it is set in native resolution of 2560x1080 (ultrawide display) screen flicker like crazy. If the resolution is lowered to 1920x1080 flicker is gone.

To further explain flickering I have posted short Youtube video here.

I am trying to get some other drivers but when I download drivers from official AMD website upon trying to install it I get this problem showed on the picture.

Is there any solution? I would love to use this OS but in this condition it is unusable.

Thanks for support

I'd like to say that the old fglrx driver is no longer well-supported on newer kernel version like 4.9, which is currently used by 15.4.
You may try the AMDGPU-PRO driver, and follow the installing manual for Debian, since Deepin uses the core arch of Debian.
