Hope this isn't too late.
So question i have is.... is there a easy way to revert back to prior driver when this happens or is the best method to just blow away the data and install fresh again like I did and avoid the latest driver for now and use the older driver that had an asterisk suggesting i use that one instead?
I had a similar problem to yours back in july. I am running Ubuntu 15.04 wtih a radeon hd6770. The opensource drivers sucked.
I tried installing amd's drivers from their website, but upon reboot it killed the xwindow system and sent me to tty1 to login.
I deleted /dev/X11/xorg.conf and when I rebooted the xwindow system worked again, but using the opensource drivers.
I then uninstalled the amd drivers I downloaded.
Some time later I installed the amd drivers through Ubuntu's Additional Drivers tool and it worked!
I know Linux Mint is derived from ubuntu, does this tool exist in Linux Mint?
Those 25 frames are worth it for the freedoms!
You
about it now, but I promise you: when the robots enslave the human race they'll be running on a property software. So
