View Full Version : Hybrid Graphics Intel HD 3000 / Radeon HD 6630M - Can't find drivers.
Hello everyone,
Sorry for posting this again and making a new thread for it, but I never got any answer the last time I did it.
I added:
"deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ experimental main non-free contrib" this to my sources.list and ran
sudo apt-get -t experimental install fglrx-driver fglrx-control
sudo apt-get -t experimental install amd-opencl-icd
aticonfig --initial -f
it worked for me before, but then i reinstalled Kali Linux and now I get the message:
"E: The value 'experimental' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources"
I also tried to run:
sudo apt-get install fglrx-driver fglrx-control - Didn't work.
Also I tried to install drivers from AMD's site - Didn't work.
Is there someone who know what I can do please? :o

Did you run 'apt-get update' after you edit your sources?

It may be several reasons for the black screen at start up after you installed the drivers. Check to make sure its just not the brightness is all the way down (happens to HP computers for some reason, not sure if you have that or not).. Also you may want to try in grub setting the nomodeset command.
From the Grub boot window, select the entry you want to boot.
Type 'e' to edit the boot entry.
Find the line starting with 'linux' (a long line with a lot of entries) and move your cursor to the end of the line.
Type 'nomodeset' (without the quotes)
Enter Ctrl-X to save the changes and reboot.
Grub boots normally.
Not sure if this is the correct fix.

I tried it with 'nomodeset' but still no luck. I'm getting a black screen, with a white cursor top left corner instead of normal Kali login screen.

how about with "i915.modeset=1".. I don't know if that will work, though it did for backtrack.
