Which drivers to use for AMD Kaveri APU for ubuntu 16.04
I just managed to install Ubuntu 16.04 using nomodeset through this method. But now when I see in software & updates-->additional drivers, it shows unknown:unknown the device is not in use. What should I install/do now to make full use of my APU ? I read about how you should not install any proprietary drivers in Ubuntu 16.04 but in my case I don't even have any by default. Are there any xorg drivers I am supposed to be using ?
drivers xorg 16.04 amd-graphics

Please run sudo lshw and copy the entire result into paste.ubuntu.com and insert a link to it into your question. Also add a screenshot of the error message.

Thanks for the link. I have been through that article already but I dont understand how to use the open-source AMDGPU or the open-source Radeon driver in place of flgrx for my AMD APU Kaveri. I checked out their websites but still cant figure out how or which drivers to install. Can you please help with some terminal commands ? or any method to install them.
